Our ancestors likely ate a diet rich in phytosterols as they are found in fruits, vegetables, legumes and nuts.
In your small intestines, phytosterols remove cholesterol from food and reduce cholesterol absorption.
This has a positive impact on blood cholesterol levels providing for broad support regarding cardiovascular health.
According to the FDA, "products containing at least 0.65g per serving of plant sterol esters, taken twice daily with meals for a daily total intake of at least 1.3 g, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease."
The National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute of Health suggest the use of plant sterols to promote cardiovascular health. Furthermore, plant sterols taken together with fish oil may have a positive impact on your body’s ability to manage inflammation.

It’s possible to ingest phytosterols from foods but most of us don’t get enough in our diets alone. If cardiovascular support is something you’d like to incorporate into your fully functional regime, consider this supplement.
In addition to supplementing, it’s important to eat well, get regular exercise, adequate sleep and limit the toxins you are putting into your body. For a full list of supplement ingredients, please reference the images above.
