THE BENEFITS OF PLANT STEROLS - The European Commission has approved the use of plant sterols supplements as a proven and safe means of reducing total cholesterol. Plant sterols have a similar structure to our own cholesterol, which means that they block the body’s absorption of cholesterol into the blood.

When the concentration of cholesterol increases it becomes one of the most relevant risk factors for your heart and, consequently, for your health. Cardiovascular disease (heart disease) is the leading cause of death among adults both in USA and Europe, and people with hyperlipidemia (too many lipids, or fats, such as cholesterol and triglycerides in their blood) are at roughly twice the risk of developing cardiovascular disease as compared to those with normal total cholesterol levels.
The Cholesterol Test is recommended for men over 40 and women over 45 years old if there are no other risk factors. If risk factors are present testing is recommended for all those over 25 years old.
