How Plant Sterols Works
Plant Sterols works by supplying a concentrated dose of purified plant sterol esters – naturally occurring, cholesterol-like compounds found in plants. Each two-capsule serving provides 1.3 grams of sterol esters, an amount that research has associated with cardiovascular support benefits. These plant sterols compete with dietary cholesterol for absorption in the digestive tract, which is thought to be part of how they support already-healthy cholesterol levels.
