https://www.naturemade.com/heartHealth/ Plant sterols and stanols can assist in lowering cholesterol by helping prevent the absorption of dietary cholesterol.
Sterols and stanols stem from plants.
They are actually components of plant membranes that are very similar to cholesterol.
In humans, cholesterol carries a similar cell function to the way sterols and stanols work inside plants.
Because sterols and stanols have a similar molecular structure to cholesterol, they block cholesterol receptors and help prevent the absorption of LDL, or bad cholesterol, in your body.
Sterols and stanols are naturally present in many fruits, vegetables, seeds, cereals, and legumes.
Eating more of those foods is a great idea, because it may lower blood cholesterol levels, but getting enough sterols and stanols through diet alone is nearly impossible.
If your plate is already full and you’re not getting the sterols and stanols you need, you can get help in a supplement like Cholestoff, too.
Now you know the role sterols and stanols play in your heart health.
