Cholesterol is a type of fat (lipid) made by the body. About 80% of cholesterol

in the liver while smaller amounts are produced by the lining of the small
intestine and the cells of the body. Cholesterol is a building block for cell
membranes and is used to produce many hormones (e.g., progesterone, estrogen,
and testosterone), vitamin D, and the bile acids that help to digest fat.
