The elevated cholesterol is one of the main risk factors of cardiovascular diseases. A healthy diet and the consumption of plant sterols: Vitasterol® helps to reduce blood cholesterol levels. Plant sterols have a chemical structure similar to cholesterol’s; hence the ability of blocking the cholesterol in the intestine. Such capacity has been demonstrated with several clinical studies in the past 50 years.
The capacity of Vitasterol® to reduce cholesterol level comes from the similarity between cholesterol and plant sterols which fight in the intestine to get room in their transport means. Therefore, plant sterols block the way of cholesterol to liver.
