Product Review

Beta sitosterol helps to regulate cholesterol levels by leveling out the rate of cholesterol absorption as it takes place in the intestines. It is a type of additive commonly found in margarine and alternative foods that are meant to help lower cholesterol levels. Plant sterols such as beta sitosterol are somewhat well endorsed by the FDA, as FDA regulations allow manufacturers to print the claim that their product (should it contain beta sitosterol or a similar plant sterol) could help to reduce the chance of developing coronary heart disease if taken along with a balanced diet low in saturated fats.
