Ingredients explained
beta-Sitosterol
Beta-sitosterol competes with cholesterol for absorption in the intestines, which may help reduce intestinal uptake of dietary cholesterol and support balanced blood lipids.
Caution: May reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins if taken away from meals; separate timing from fat-soluble supplements if concerned.
Campesterol
Campesterol is a plant sterol that competes with cholesterol for intestinal transport, which may support healthy cholesterol absorption balance.
Caution: Similar to other phytosterols, high intakes may affect absorption of fat-soluble nutrients; take with meals as directed.
Stigmasterol
Stigmasterol is a plant sterol that can displace cholesterol in micelles in the gut, which may limit cholesterol uptake.
Caution: Use with care if dietary intake of fat-soluble vitamins is low, as phytosterols may modestly influence their absorption.
How they work together
These three phytosterols act at the intestinal level to compete with cholesterol for incorporation into mixed micelles and transporters, which may reduce dietary cholesterol absorption. Together they support a complementary approach to managing cholesterol uptake from meals.
