How do plant sterols lower cholesterol?
Plant sterols have a similar structure to cholesterol and are thought to compete with it for absorption in the gut. When the plant sterols are absorbed, this reduces the amount of cholesterol entering the blood stream. Any unabsorbed cholesterol is removed as waste, and overtime, this is thought to reduce the levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in the blood. LDL is also known as ‘bad cholesterol’.
We accurately quote the level of free, pure plant sterols in each of our plant sterol tablets 100%. We've chosen to formulate our plant sterols in tablets, not capsules, since they can deliver higher levels of active ingredients.

Used to lower cholesterol rather than take st**ins. Appear to be working, and thankfully no side effects on digestive system. They are quite large is size to swallow so always drink lots of water with them.

To lower my cholesterol, but the effective dose is 2000mg per day, so I combine it with another brand to get the right amount.
