PHYTOSTEROLS

Phytosterols is a dietary supplement that features plant sterols known for their ability to help reduce cholesterol absorption and support heart health.*

This product is ideal for adult men interested in cardiovascular health, particularly those wanting to maintain healthy cholesterol levels, as well as men seeking to support prostate and urinary tract health.

Take one (1) tablet at the beginning of a meal, twice daily, or as directed by your healthcare professional.

In addition to heart health support, Phytosterols also promotes urinary tract health and healthy urinary flow in men as well as optimal prostate function.*

Phytosterols are plant-derived sterols that structurally resemble cholesterol and compete with cholesterol for absorption in the intestine, effectively reducing cholesterol uptake into the bloodstream (1). Phytosterols provides a clinically effective amount of phytosterols to reduce LDL cholesterol (2). Foods and supplements containing at least 400 mg per serving of plant sterols, eaten twice a day with meals for a daily total intake of at least 800 mg, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. A serving of Phytosterols IR supplies 450 mg of phytosterols.  Furthermore, studies indicate that phytosterols not only support cholesterol balance but may also benefit prostate and urinary tract health in men. Systematic reviews highlight the effectiveness of phytosterols in improving urinary symptoms and flow measures without adverse effects on prostate size (3).*
