Plant Sterols and Stanols
for High Cholesterol
Consuming 2g daily of plant sterols or stanols through fortified foods (spreads, yoghurts, drinks) or supplements.
How it works
Structurally similar to cholesterol, plant sterols compete for absorption in the gut, reducing the amount of dietary and biliary cholesterol that enters the bloodstream.
What to watch for
Require consistent daily consumption to maintain effect. May reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins with long-term use. Not recommended during pregnancy.
