What is cholesterol?

Cholesterol is a type of lipid. This is a waxy, fat-like substance that your liver naturally produces. It is important for the formation of cell membranes, certain hormones, and vitamin D.

Cholesterol is insoluble in water, so it cannot flow through your own blood. To help transport cholesterol, your liver produces lipoproteins.

Lipoproteins are particles made of fat and protein. These substances carry cholesterol and triglycerides, another type of lipid, through your bloodstream.
