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.
