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.
Require consistent daily consumption to maintain effect. May reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins with long-term use. Not recommended during pregnancy.
European Food Safety Authority approved. Meta-analyses confirm 2g/day reduces LDL by 8–10%. One of the best-evidenced non-pharmaceutical cholesterol interventions.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
