There are two major types of cholesterol – LDL (low density lipoprotein) and HDL (high density lipoprotein). LDL is the one doctor's worry about. High levels of LDL in the blood have been linked to health issues including heart attack and stroke. Plant Sterols offer a natural way to maintain a healthy cholesterol level. Taking at least 800mg plant sterols each day supports a healthy cholesterol. Taking 1500mg-3000mg per day can help to naturally reduce cholesterol levels. Each teaspoon of our Natures Aid Cholesterol Support Powder combines 1600mg Plant Sterols with your recommended daily intake of Vitamin B1 to support a healthy heart. The product is in a base of Inulin, a natural prebiotic fibre. Natures Aid Plant Sterols are sourced from Pine, so are soya free. To lower cholesterol: Take 1 teaspoon (3g) daily. To maintain healthy cholesterol: Take ½ teaspoon (1.5g) daily. Powder may be added to drinks, cereals, yoghurts, smoothies, water or taken directly from the spoon.
