Home » Cholesterol Test Kit Cholesterol is a waxy fat like chemical. It is an essential component for body structure and digestive acids. Cholesterol is produced naturally by the liver and helps keep all the body's cells in good working order. The right levels of 'good' cholesterol, known as HDL (High Density Lipoprotein) is circulated in the bloodstream and any excess is taken back into the liver to be broken down.
