Cholesterol Balance contains a natural complex of plant sterols, including beta-sitosterol, campesterol, and stigmasterol. These phytosterols help lower serum cholesterol levels by decreasing cholesterol absorption in the small intestine. Plant sterols work by reducing absorption of both dietary cholesterol and cholesterol produced by the body.Policosanol has been shown to help maintain healthy cholesterol and blood lipid (triglyceride) levels. The Policosanol in Cholesterol Balance is manufactured from sugar cane wax using a molecular distillation process and is the same raw material source used in a variety of clinical investigations. Providing natural whole-food co-factors, a blend of twelve different vegetables have been added for a complete, cholesterol-support formula. Cholesterol Balance is potency-enhanced with Futurebiotics BioAccelerators.
