Phytosterols- the facts:* Increasing levels in your blood cholesterol is proven to be associated with increasing risk of coronary heart disease and stroke* Lowering your total cholesterol and especially the bad type called LDL cholesterol is now proven to reduce your risk of getting heart disease and stroke.* The more that you lower your cholesterol, the more you reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke. Every 1% reduction in LDL cholesterol provides a reduction in risk of a cardiovascular event of 1-1.5%.* Over the past 20 years, more than 50 human clinical studies have shown that a component of raw plant oils called phytosterols can reduce total and LDL cholesterol by between 5-20%.* It is now acknowledged that virtually everyone over the age of 35 would benefit from reducing their cholesterol level. Most people would like to do this naturally without the use of drugs. If you are one of these people and you want to know a little more about how you can safely and effectively lower cholesterol with phytosterols, read on.Phytosterols are naturally found in very small amounts in all types of unrefined plant oils such as olive oil, corn oil and sunflower oil. They have a similar structure to cholesterol, that is found in animal fat.You need to take 650 mg or phytosterols 2 times a day according to the FDA recommendation. Typically you will achieve a significant reduction in choleswterol in 16 weeks by taking the required amount of 650 mg 2 times a day with meals.Phytosterols do not work the same way as the cholesterol lowering drugs (statins) and do not have the side effects of the statins.Phytosterols still work even if you are on a low cholesterol diet. Most of the cholesterol we absorb from the intestine, we produce as part of our digestive juices, which are used to digest fat. This means that phytosterols work even if the diet contains no cholesterol at all.To derive all of the cholesterol lowering benefits from phytosterols, you can combine them with omega-3 fish oils to provide additional heart health and many other benefits associated with fish oil.Finest Pure Fish Oil with Plant SterolsCombining the benefits of phytosterols with those of fish oil provides the most powerful nutrients in maintaining heart health.
