CardioAid™ plant sterols
Cholesterol enters micelles and
is transported for absorption.
Less cholesterol absorption is possible
when plant sterols are present, reducing
the amount of cholesterol absorbed into
the circulatory system.
Plant sterols
Cholesterol
Micelles
Without plant sterols,
cholesterol is readily absorbed
and transported through the
circulatory system.
Circulatory system
Gastrointestinal tract
When plant sterols are
present, less cholesterol is
able to enter the micelles.
Sterols Fight Cholesterol
and Win
Because plant sterols are structurally similar to
cholesterol, they block cholesterol absorption at the
small intestine’s surface. Unabsorbed cholesterol and
plant sterols are eliminated from the body.
In fact, 1 to 2 grams of plant sterols per day generally produces a significant decrease in serum LDL
cholesterol levels.1 Serum LDL cholesterol levels are
well recognized to impact heart disease risk.
The FDA has permitted the
following claim for products
containing plant sterols:
Foods containing at least
0.4 gram per serving of
plant sterols, eaten twice a day
with meals for a daily total intake
of at least 0.8 gram,
as part of a diet low in saturated fat
and cholesterol, may
reduce the risk of heart disease.
A serving of [name of the food]
supplies ___ gram(s) of
plant sterols.
