Lamberts Plant Sterols is a unique beta-sitosterol supplement. Plant sterols contain a substance called beta sitosterols which have been shown to help maintain cholesterol and prostate health, as well as providing other health benefits effects.
Lamberts Plant Sterols 800mg (Beta-Sitosterols Supplement), 60 Tablets
Plant Sterols are naturally present in vegetable oils and grains, and have been shown to be vitally important for maintaining healthy cholesterol levels. In structure, plant sterols are similar to cholesterol and they have been shown to benefit health by partially blocking cholesterol from being re-absorbed from the gut. Cholesterol is naturally secreted in bile to aid digestion and then reabsorbed further down the gut. By blocking this re-absorption of cholesterol, plant sterols can have a positive effect on blood cholesterol levels, even if a low cholesterol diet is being consumed.
Modern diets tend to be low in plant sterols, and so increasingly foods such as margarine are being fortified with sterols. These fortified foods can make a contribution to the daily intake of sterols but achieving an optimum intake by this means may not suit everyone.
These tablets provide a full 400mg of plant sterols and can be added to diet regimes with no effect on the daily calorie intake.

Health Food Supplements may be useful sources to help fill the gaps in diets of people at certain times in their lives or to prevent deficiency symptoms, but they can never replace a varied, balanced diet. Supplements can also provide general health benefits effects for people who are lacking certain nutrients in their body.
NOTE: Never exceed the recommended daily dosage. Always remember to keep all your vitamins and other food supplements out of sight and reach of children. You should ensure that it is safe to start any new health supplement product if you are already taking or using a medicine, herbal remedy or other food supplements. Always consult your doctor or other qualified health care practitioner before taking any food supplement if you are receiving medication or treatment for any medical condition. Do not cease conventional treatment or medication for any reason without consulting your doctor or a qualified health practitioner. Do not take any health food supplement without first consulting your doctor or a qualified health practitioner if you are pregnant, are trying to conceive or are breast feeding.
