Properties and benefits of Plant sterols

This tablet offers a total of 800 mg of pure plant sterols with up to 80% beta-sitosterol. We quote the level of pure plant sterols in our tablets, and not the weight of the compound declared by some companies, which may be only 50% sterols.

The use of medicinal plant and plant products in various forms of preparations is very old, and its ingestion for therapeutic purposes was for centuries the main available therapeutic resource. Vegetables provide infinite phytochemical compounds, still totally unknown today. Its best ingestion and efficacy is recommended in standardized extracts of high potency and quality.

Plant sterols are found naturally in vegetable oils and cereals, having been shown to be of vital importance for the metabolism of circulating fats in the body.

Structurally, plant sterols are similar to cholesterol, turning out to be very beneficial for human well-being due to their ability to act on the intestinal re-absorption of this lipid. Cholesterol is naturally secreted in bile to aid digestion, and is then reabsorbed in the lower reaches of the intestine.

Modern diets tend to provide a low amount of plant sterols and, therefore, more and more foods like margarine are being reinforced with sterols. These fortified foods may contribute to the daily intake of sterols, but getting the optimal amounts with these foods may not be suitable for everyone. Most studies cite effective doses between 2-2.5 g.

These tablets contain 800 mg of plant sterols and can be taken in conjunction with dietary regimens without affecting daily calorie intake.
