Frequently asked questions
To support the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels, a daily intake of at least 800mg of plant sterols is often considered beneficial. One tablet of Nature's Best Plant Sterols 800mg provides this, while some individuals use two or three tablets daily for enhanced nutritional support.
Yes, plant sterols are highly effective for cardiovascular care because they actively help maintain healthy blood cholesterol levels. To successfully support cholesterol maintenance, scientific evidence shows you need a daily intake of at least 0.8g (800mg) of plant sterols.To make meeting this target simple, a single tablet of Nature's Best Plant Sterols 800mg provides this exact scientifically backed level in a convenient, daily format.
Plant sterols (also known as phytosterols) are natural, cholesterol-like compounds found in plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, and unrefined vegetable oils. Because they share a similar chemical structure to cholesterol, they actively compete for absorption in the gut. This biological process reduces the amount of dietary cholesterol entering your bloodstream, helping to manage your lipid levels.

Yes. If you have difficulty swallowing supplements, you can break or crush Nature's Best Plant Sterols 800mg tablets into food. For tips on how to swallow tablets, visit Nutrition Buzz.
The active phytosterols used in Nature's Best high-strength Plant Sterols 800mg tablets are completely plant-derived and sustainably sourced from natural pine. Our formulations are manufactured under strict UK GMP standards to ensure quality.
Most scientific studies demonstrate that plant sterols begin affecting cholesterol absorption in the gut, with measurable changes in blood lipid profiles appearing within 2 to 3 weeks. However, our Nutrition Advisors recommend taking your daily supplements consistently and assessing the full lifestyle effectiveness over a 2 to 3 month period.
To support the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels, the recommended baseline dosage is 1 tablet daily of Nature's Best Plant Sterols 800mg. However, for enhanced nutritional support and to meet higher scientifically backed targets, you can safely increase your intake to 2 or 3 tablets daily as part of a heart-healthy diet.
While both are plant-derived compounds used to lower cholesterol, the primary difference lies in their chemical structures and absorption rates. Plant stanols are saturated sterols that are absorbed by the human body in trace amounts compared to plant sterols. Because both compounds work by blocking cholesterol absorption in the gut rather than entering the bloodstream, scientific studies show they are equally effective at lowering LDL ("bad") cholesterol when taken at optimal daily intake.
Plant sterols occur naturally in small amounts in foods such as unrefined vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. While some foods are artificially fortified with sterols, these options often include high-calorie spreads and yoghurts. To easily achieve relevant levels without extra calories, adding a supplement like Nature's Best Plant Sterols 800mg is a highly convenient and effective alternative.
Yes, you can combine Nature's Best Plant Sterols 800mg tablets with cholesterol-lowering foods like Benecol spreads or fortified yoghurts. However, you must monitor your total daily intake; health authorities recommend not exceeding 3 grams (3,000mg) of plant sterols or stanols daily, as consuming higher amounts provides no additional health benefits.
To effectively lower cholesterol, scientific guidelines recommend a daily intake of 2,000mg to 2,500mg (2.0g to 2.5g) of plant sterols. Consuming three tablets daily of Nature's Best Plant Sterols provides a precise level of 2,400mg, perfectly meeting this scientifically backed target.
Plant sterols effectively lower low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol through a clear, biological mechanism:
Competitive Absorption: Because plant sterols have a chemical structure almost identical to cholesterol, they actively compete with cholesterol for absorption in the small intestine.
Cholesterol Elimination: By blocking cholesterol from binding to intestinal receptors, the amount of dietary and biliary cholesterol entering your bloodstream is significantly reduced.
LDL Reduction: The unabsorbed cholesterol is naturally excreted from the body as waste. Over time, this biological blockage systematically lowers the levels of circulating LDL ("bad") cholesterol.

If you are already taking cholesterol lowering solutions, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider before taking additional support.
Yes. There is a vast body of robust scientific evidence and global regulatory approval confirming that plant sterols significantly contribute to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels.
