Ingredients explained
beta-Sitosterol
Beta-sitosterol competes with dietary cholesterol for absorption in the intestines, which may help limit cholesterol uptake and support healthy lipid balance.
Caution: Avoid if you have sitosterolaemia, as added plant sterols may accumulate; discuss use if pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking lipid-lowering medicines.
Campesterol
Campesterol reduces intestinal absorption of cholesterol by competing for incorporation into micelles in the gut.
Caution: May affect cholesterol measurements; consider spacing from fat-soluble vitamins as reduced absorption is possible.
Stigmasterol
Stigmasterol is a plant sterol that competes with cholesterol for absorption in the digestive tract, supporting a favourable blood lipid profile.
Caution: Similar to other sterols, high intakes may lessen absorption of some fat-soluble nutrients; take with meals and maintain a balanced diet.
How they work together
These three plant sterols act at the intestinal level to compete with dietary cholesterol for absorption. By limiting cholesterol uptake via micelle formation, they collectively support a healthier lipid balance when taken with meals containing fat.
Safety and tips
