Beta-Sitosterol Plant Sterols With CardioAid
NOW
Overview
This product is designed to lower LDL cholesterol levels through the use of plant sterols. The ingredients, beta-sitosterol, campesterol, and stigmasterol, are all phytosterols which work by inhibiting intestinal cholesterol absorption. While it appears to be dosed to align with research, the product's effectiveness hinges on consistent use and concurrent consumption with fats to maximize absorption. It can create a significant reduction in LDL cholesterol, especially for those who have higher baseline results. There is good research on LDL cholesterol, however, the direct tie to lower occurences of cardiovascular disease is still being researched, so effects outside of LDL are less clear.

The Bad
Requires multiple doses daily for effectiveness.

Is it for you?
