Plant sterols work by blocking the absorption of LDL (“bad”) cholesterol in the gut, helping to lower its levels in the bloodstream.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe term “plant sterols” comes from their origin and structure: they’re found naturally in fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and seeds (plant), and they closely resemble the cholesterol produced by our bodies (sterols). This similarity is what allows them to compete with dietary cholesterol for absorption - reducing the amount that enters your system.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile the NHS encourages eating more plant-based foods to help manage cholesterol, typical diets only provide around 160-400 mg of plant sterols per day. According to the British Heart Foundation, you need 2,000-2,500 mg daily for a significant cholesterol-lowering effect - something that’s difficult to achieve through diet alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhy choose Healthspan's Plant Sterols 800 mg tablets?\u003cbr\u003e\nDue to the similarity to cholesterol, these plant sterols tablets can stop the cholesterol in the things you eat being absorbed in the small intestine. As a result, plant sterols can keep your cholesterol levels at a normal level, or even better, help lower your blood cholesterol and therefore reduce the risk in the development of coronary heart disease, a major cause of death in the UK according to the NHS.\u003cbr\u003e\nWith just 2-3 tablets per day, you can reach the recommended daily intake of 2,000-2,500 mg as advised by the British Heart Foundation, helping to maintain normal cholesterol levels and reduce your long-term risk of coronary heart disease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for?\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant Sterols are ideal for anyone looking to naturally manage high cholesterol and support heart health. For added benefits, pair with our  Artichoke  which helps increase the body’s natural cholesterol elimination via bile, making them the perfect partners for maintaining a healthy cholesterol balance.\u003cbr\u003e\nFor an optimal solution, try our NEW  Plant Sterols Plus , delivering the full 2400 mg of plant sterols, plus potassium for support normal blood pressure and Oli-Ola™ olive extract.\u003cbr\u003e\n1  Plant sterols have been shown to lower\/reduce blood cholesterol, with a daily intake of 1500 mg - 3000 mg plant sterols.
