		<description><![CDATA[Lipoprotein(a) is formed when one LDL molecule is attached to a protein called apolipoprotein(a).  (FYI: Lipo = fat; hence the name lipoprotein – fat with protein.) A healthy level of lipoprotein(a) is beneficial and will:
Repair damaged cells
Restore structure of blood vessel walls
Enhance blood clotting
Prevent excessive blood loss due to damaged vessels
Promote cell regeneration
Basically, lipoprotein(a) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lipoprotein(a) is a type of cholesterol we all have; however, it’s not a cholesterol routinely monitored by physicians.  Typically you receive a standard lipid panel which gives you the following labs:
Total Cholesterol
LDL Cholesterol
