Plant sterol complex – Natural support for cholesterol balance and heart health 🌿🫀
Plant Sterol Complex is a vegan and highly concentrated dietary supplement designed for adults who want a natural way to support normal cholesterol levels as part of a healthy lifestyle. The formula contains a broad mixture of plant sterols such as beta-sitosterol, brassicasterol, campesterol and stigmasterol, which are structurally similar to the body's own cholesterol. This similarity means that plant sterols can compete with cholesterol for absorption in the intestine, which means that more cholesterol is excreted during digestion. Each daily dose provides 900 mg of phytosterols, within the EFSA-assessed amounts that can help maintain normal cholesterol levels when the product is part of a varied and balanced lifestyle. Plant sterol complex contains no unnecessary additives, and the capsules are made of environmentally friendly pullulan produced from fermented tapioca.

Top 2 main features and one lesser known effect
🩸 Support for normal cholesterol levels
Plant sterols are well-documented when it comes to helping to maintain normal cholesterol levels in the blood, as they can partially prevent the body's absorption of cholesterol in the gut. This is the best established and EFSA-approved use of plant sterols.

❤️ Part of a heart-friendly lifestyle
By being included together with diet, physical activity and other lifestyle measures, plant sterols can support adults who want to keep cholesterol within the normal range as part of a preventive focus on their own health.

✨ Less known effect: influence on fat metabolism
Several studies suggest that phytosterols can affect certain markers linked to fat metabolism, including by affecting the ratio between different lipoproteins. This is an area that is still actively researched, and which is interesting for people who pay close attention to their own metabolic health, without this being included as a health claim.
