Phytosterols is an immediate-release dietary supplement. Each tabletprovides450 mg of phytosterols, including beta-sitosterol (40%), campesterol (20%),stigmasterol (14%) and other plant sterols.

Phytosterols compete with cholesterol for space within bile salt micelles in the intestinal lumen, thereby helping to block the absorption of cholesterol from both food and cholesterol recycled by the liver (enterohepatic circulation).*

For men, Phytosterols provides a clinically effective amount of phytosterols shown to promote optimal urinary tract health, urinary flow, and prostate health.*

Directions: Take one (1) tablet at the beginning of a meal, twice daily, or as directed by your healthcare professional.

  • Supports healthy cholesterol metabolism. The effect of phytosterols on cholesterol metabolism is well documented. The lowest effective dose is reported to be 800-1,000 mg/day (divided with meals). Some health organizations recommend about 2,000 mg/day (divided with meals) for optimal support (2,3).
  • Promotes urinary tract health, optimal urinary flow & prostate health. Controlled clinical trials indicate beta-sitosterol supports prostate health, urinary tract health, and optimal urinary flow. Effective dosing is reported to be in the range of 60-130 mg/day, divided into two to three doses (4).
  • May help reduce heart disease risk. Foods and supplements containing at least 400 mg per serving of plant sterols, eaten twice a day with meals for a daily total intake of at least 800 mg, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. A serving of Phytosterols provides 450 mg of phytosterols.

Phytosterols are most effective when consumed with meals and as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol (1). Since phytosterols inhibit cholesterol absorption in a dose-dependent manner, most health organizations recommend about 2,000 mg/day for optimal benefits (2):

  • Dietary intakes (300–400 mg/day) - Reduces cholesterol absorption by about 5%
  • Supplemental intakes (1,500–2,000 mg/day) - Reduces cholesterol absorption by 35% to 40%
  • Higher doses (>3,000 mg/day) - No added benefit as effect on cholesterol absorption generally plateaus.

Other Ingredients: Cellulose, modified cellulose, silica, stearic acid (vegetable), and magnesium stearate (vegetable).

Phytosterols is manufactured in the United States (Oregon) in a state-of-the-art, FDA-registered facility that meets or exceeds current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP). Quality control tests are performed at every stage of the manufacturing process from rigorous raw material testing to finished product testing.

Precautions

Consult your healthcare professional prior to use if you have or suspect a medical condition, are taking any medications, or are pregnant or nursing.

Phytosterols should be avoided in patients with phytosterolemia (sitosterolemia), a rare autosomal recessive sterol storage disease that leads to impaired elimination of plant sterols and stanols.
