What are plant sterols and how do they work? Plant sterols are nature's champion cholesterol fighters. Found in fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds (plant), these compounds are like cholesterol's doppelgängers, closely resembling the cholesterol our bodies naturally produce (sterols). They elbow out dietary cholesterol in the bowel reducing its absorption in the bloodstream to maintain normal cholesterol levels in the circulation. The result? Reduced levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in the blood - LDL is also known as ‘bad cholesterol’. Plant sterols are like a VIP pass to heart health, without the high-priced ticket!

According to the NHS, over half of UK adults are thought to have high cholesterol. Maintaining healthy cholesterol levels can reduce the risk of developing coronary heart disease – so we say, bring on a plant-dense diet, healthy lifestyle choices and Nature’s Best Plant Sterols!

Why choose our Plant Sterols? Our plant sterols are natural cholesterol lowering supplements derived from a 100% natural plant source – pine extract to be precise, which contains one of the highest natural sources of beta sitosterols, the beneficial compounds found in the plant, and they're suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

How to use plant sterols: Daily Intake: The British Heart Foundation suggests 2,000-2,500 mg of plant sterols daily. Our high-strength tablets deliver a whopping 2,400mg per three tablets – take every day to compliment a healthy diet.

Incorporating plant sterols into your diet: Sure, you could munch on fruits and veggies all day, but let's be real - getting enough plant sterols from diet alone is like trying to fill a swimming pool with a teaspoon. Enter fortified foods and supplements. To reach the recommended daily intake of 2-2.5g of plant sterols, you’ll need to have about 3 standard servings of a fortified food. The following quantities are considered one serving of plant sterols.

Foods high in plant sterols:

• Fortified Milk: 250ml per serving

• Fortified Yoghurt: 200g per serving

• Fortified Margarine: 10g (2tsp) per serving

• Fortified Weetabix: 1 biscuit per serving

Plant sterols vs. cholesterol lowering solutions: Plant sterols offer a natural, effective alternative to some cholesterol lowering solutions with fewer side effects. Pair Plant Sterols 800mg with Garlic 3,000mg for a cholesterol-crushing combo.

What’s the difference between plant sterols and plant stanols? Plant sterols and plant stanols are both natural, healthy fat-like substances that block the body from absorbing cholesterol, but stanols have a slightly different, more "saturated" chemical shape that makes them even less absorbable than sterols. We created our Plant Sterols for best absorption to serve you better.

And what about phytosterols? In simple terms, phytosterols is the collective, scientific name for the entire family of natural, cholesterol-like compounds found in all plants, which includes both plant sterols and plant stanols – science simplified!
