Click here for label information. CardioSterol is made from phytosterols, an FDA approved, natural substance that can help lower your cholesterol.* Unlike food products that claim to lower cholesterol with phytosterols, CardioSterol will not add significant fat or calories to your diet! Phytosterols are natural substances found in all plants. Because they are bio-chemically similar to cholesterol, the two compete for absorption when consumed. Unlike cholesterol, however, phytosterols are not harmful. When taken as a supplement or food additive, the body will absorb less cholesterol from other foods. In clinical studies, the overall effect of including phytosterols in the diet has been an average reduction of LDL (bad) cholesterol by 8-15% with no known side effects. This translates to a 20 percent decrease in the long-term risk of heart attack and cardiac death. Phytosterols are recommended by the National Cholesterol Education Program of the National Institutes of Health and are FDA-approved. For maximum cholesterol-lowering benefit, phytosterols should be consumed twice daily before a meal. CardioSterol can be conveniently taken before a meal – even when you’re on the go! CardioSterol contains phytosterol esters (2.0 grams per serving) made from plants such as soybeans and corn. Each serving also contains 128 mg of fish oil. Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol that include at least 1.3 grams of phytosterol esters daily may reduce the risk of heart disease. Dosage: 2 licaps 2 times daily with food. $39 for 240 licaps (60-day supply) |
