My wife takes this to control cholestrol, and it does just that, an excellent product.
LESTEROL® - with plant sterols and stanols.
Beta-sitosterol is a plant phyto-sterol complex ( an natural fat) from soya. Beta-sitosterol is one of hundreds of plant-derived 'sterol' compounds (including stanols) that have structural similarity to the cholesterol made in our bodies.
Cholesterol is a substance found in your blood and at high levels it can increase your risk of cardiovascular disease. Plant sterols and stanols have been shown to reduce the cholesterol levels by blocking its absorption in to the blood.
The beneficial effect of plant sterols and stanols is obtained with a daily intake of at least 800mg.
LESTEROL® also contains Allisure® allicin powder. the use of Allisure® for optimal health and well being is on the increase and has been widely investigated. Each capsule contains stabilised allicin which is the primary active compound generated from garlic. Allisure® is absorbed rapidly so unlikely to cause odour.
The most prevalent phytosterols in the diet are beta-sitosterol, campesterol and stigmasterol. Plant oils contain the highest concentration of phytosterols - so nuts and seeds contain fairly high levels and all fruits and vegetables generally contain some amount of phytosterols.
Perhaps the best way to obtain beta-sitosterol is to eat a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds (which obviously brings numerous other benefits as well) or to take a daily dose of LESTEROL®.
