How do plant sterols and stanols work to help block cholesterol absorption and reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol in the bloodstream?
Plant sterols and stanols, also referred to as the phytosterols, are plant-derived compounds that are similar in structure to cholesterol. Plant sterols and stanols compete with cholesterol for aborption in the digestive tract. As a result, the sterols and stanols help block dietary cholesterol absorption and reduce LDL ("bad”) cholesterol.
How does CholestOff Plus Work?
The dietary supplement form of phytosterols provides a convenient, easy to take supplement and offers approximately 1.8 grams (g) of phytosterols per day with a negligible amount of calories. Because many Americans consume as little as about 200 mg per day, this is the amount many Americans need to reach the 2,000 mg per day recommended by the National Institute of Health (NIH) Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes Guidelines.

Plant sterols and stanols occur naturally in small amounts in plant-based foods such as unrefined vegetable oils, whole grains, nuts and legumesΔ. However, in order to meet the recommended guidelines for cholesterol reduction through un-fortified food alone, one would need to consume an excessive amount of these foods to obtain the recommended 2 grams of sterols and stanols. |
* Products containing at least 400 mg per serving of plant sterols and stanols, eaten twice a day with meals for a daily intake of at least 800 mg as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. One serving of Nature Made CholestOff® supplies 900 mg of plant sterols and stanols per serving for a daily intake of 1800 mg.
