Product Overview
Phytosterols, plant-based compounds structurally similar to cholesterol, compete with cholesterol for absorption, playing a key role in supporting healthy cholesterol levels.
- Normally, the human diet contains approximately equal amounts of cholesterol and plant sterols. Individuals typically
absorb approximately 50% of dietary cholesterol but less than 5% of dietary plant sterols; therefore, supplementation
with plant sterols is often recommended. - The Plant Sterols complex includes a variety of purified plant sterols, such as campesterol, stigmasterol and β sitosterol. Two capsules provide the recommended 1.3 g of plant sterol esters for cardiovascular benefits
