Heart Shake Booster – What are plant sterols and what do they do?

Plant Sterols (phytosterols) are naturally present in small quantities in plant-based foods, but not at a level that can provide a nutritional benefit. Consuming plant sterols as a supplement helps lower blood cholesterol levels by reducing the amount of dietary cholesterol the body can absorb from foods and helps the body eliminate more cholesterol.

According to the FDA, foods containing at least 0.65 g per serving of plant sterol esters, eaten twice a day 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. A serving of Heart Shake Booster supplies 0.65 grams of plant sterol esters.
