Plant Sterols 60 Capsules

Early historical diets were rich in phytosterols (found in grains, vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts, and seeds), providing as much as 1 g per day. Research has shown that phytosterols, plant-based compounds structurally similar to cholesterol, compete with cholesterol for absorption and thus play a key role in supporting healthy cholesterol levels. According to the FDA, "products containing at least 0.65g per serving of plant sterol esters, taken twice daily with meals for a daily total intake of at least 1.3 g, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease."   Supplement Facts: Serving Size: 2 capsules Serving Size: 2 Capsules Servings Per Container: 30 Ingredients per Serving Amount Per Serving % Daily Value Calories 15 Total Fat 1.5 g 2%** Sterol Esters 1.3 g ***  **Percent Daily Values are based on a 2,000 calorie diet *** Daily Value not established Other Ingredients: Gelatin, Mixed Natural Tocopherols Dietary C
