Ingredients explained
beta-Sitosterol
Beta-sitosterol competes with dietary cholesterol for absorption in the intestines, which may reduce cholesterol uptake and support healthy blood lipid balance.
Caution: Avoid if you have sitosterolemia, as plant sterols can accumulate; take with meals containing fat for best effect.
Campesterol
Campesterol is a plant sterol that competes with cholesterol for intestinal absorption, which may help limit cholesterol uptake.
Caution: Use with meals containing fat to aid incorporation into mixed micelles; avoid if you have sitosterolemia.
Stigmasterol
Stigmasterol is a plant sterol that reduces cholesterol absorption in the gut by displacing it from micelles.
Caution: Best taken with fat-containing meals for effectiveness; avoid if you have sitosterolemia.
How they work together
These three plant sterols act at the intestinal level, where they compete with cholesterol for incorporation into micelles. Together they may reduce dietary cholesterol absorption, supporting a favorable lipid profile.
