Product Review

Phytosterols, naturally occurring plant sterols, have a long history of research documenting both safety and efficacy in promoting heart health by affecting cholesterol. The American Heart Association published a scientific advisory in its official publication, Circulation, advocating the use of phytosterols as part of a heart healthy diet to help maintain blood cholesterol in the normal range. In addition, the FDA has approved a health claim for the relationship between diets that include plant sterol/stanol esters for a healthy heart.
