NOW Foods Beta-Sitosterol Plant Sterols - 90 softgels

Description: Allicin Max - Allicin Max Lesterol Plant Sterols & Stanols (90 Vegetarian Capsules)nn Beta-sitosterol is one of hundreds of plant-derived 'sterol' compounds (including sterols and sterolins) that have structural similarity to the cholesterol made in our bodies. The most prevalent phytosterols in the diet are Beta-sitosterol, compesterol and stigmasterol. Plant oils contain the highest concentration of phytosterols - so nuts and seeds contain fairly high levels and all fruits and vegetables generally contain some amount of phytosterols. Perhaps the best way to obtain Beta-sitosterol is to eat a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds (which obviously brings numerous other benefits as well) or to take a daily dose of LESTEROL®.

Description: One Lamberts® Plant Sterol tablet a day can contribute to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels. This tablet provides a full 800mg of 'free' (or pure) plant sterols with up to 80% beta-sitosterols. We quote the level of pure plant sterols in our tablets, not the compound weight declared by some companies, which may be only 50% sterols. Plant sterols are naturally present in vegetable oils and grains, and have been shown to be vitally important for maintaining healthy cholesterol levels. In structure, plant sterols are similar to cholesterol and they have been shown to benefit health by partially blocking cholesterol from being re-absorbed from the gut. Cholesterol is naturally secreted in bile to aid digestion and then re-absorbed further down the gut. By blocking this re-absorption of cholesterol, plant sterols can have a positive effect on blood cholesterol levels, even if a low cholesterol diet is being consumed. Modern diets tend to be low in plant sterols, and so increasingly foods such as margarine are being fortified with sterols. These fortified foods can make a contribution to the daily intake of sterols but achieving an optimum intake by this means may not suit everyone. Directions: One tablet a day. Each tablet delivers: Plant Sterols 800mg (providing up to 80% beta-sitosterols*)* The relative levels of individual sterols are subject to natural variation Tableted With: Calcium Carbonate, Crosslinked Cellulose Gum, Tablet Coating (Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Glycerin), Magnesium Stearate, Silicon Dioxide. Disintegration Time Less than 1 hour. Cautions: This product is not recommended for pregnant or lactating women. Contains lactose.

Description: What are plant sterols? The clue is in the name: plant sterols (also known as phytosterols): “ Plant-” – as they come from fruit, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds; and “-sterols” indicates that they are similar to cholesterol – which we find in our own bodies. Why choose Healthspan’s Plant Sterols 800mg tablets? Due to the similarity to cholesterol, plant sterols can stop cholesterol from the things you eat being absorbed in the small intestine. As a result, plant sterols can keep your cholesterol levels at the normal level, or – even better, help lower your blood cholesterol* and thus reduce a risk factor in the development of coronary heart disease. It’s a convenient way to get your recommended daily intake without the added calories or fat found in sterol-enriched margarine or dairy produce. In order to obtain the beneficial effect of lowering blood cholesterol our experts recommend taking three tablets daily, providing 2,400mg plant sterols (as well as high levels of the active molecules ‘beta-sitosterols’). Made in the UK. *800mg plant sterols daily help maintain normal cholesterol levels. Cholesterol lowering benefit obtained with a daily intake of 1,500mg – 3,000mg plant sterols.

Description: Phytosterols are plant-derived compounds similar in structure to cholesterol. Some of these compounds, including beta-sitosterol, have been clinically documented to support cardiovascular health and to promote healthy cholesterol levels already within normal range. The premium, plant sterol esters contained in Phytosterol Complex may reduce the risk of heart disease. A serving of Phytosterol Complex supplies 0.9 grams (900mg), of vegetable oil sterol esters. Foods and supplements containing at least 650 mg per serving of plant sterol esters, eaten twice a day with meals for a daily total intake of at least 1300 mg, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease through the intermediate link of blood total and LDL cholesterol. Two out of three adults have an elevated cholesterol level and while eating a healthy diet is an important first step in helping to reduce cholesterol, supplementing the diet with plant sterols may enhance the cholesterol-lowering effect of the diet. Phytosterols appear to reduce cholesterol safely by inhibiting the absorption of dietary cholesterol within the intestines. As the molecular structure of phytosterols is almost indentical to cholesterol, the body is unable to distinguish between the two. As there are limited numbers of receptors for cholesterol attachment and absorption, phytosterols are able to physically block cholesterol and prevent the body from absorbing it.
