Description
Here's something your heart will love you for. A healthy cholesterol level is an important part of heart health. CholestOff Plus® is formulated with esterified sterols and stanols instead of free form sterols and stanols that are formulated in CholestOff Original®. The esterified sterols and stanols have been clinically proven to have cholesterol-lowering benefits*. Our studies show that consuming CholestOff Plus® in addition to following the National Institutes of Health's National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC) diet, reduced LDL cholesterol levels.*
* These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
One serving of Nature Made CholestOff® Plus supplies 900 mg of plant sterols and stanols for a daily intake of 1,800 mg.
How does it work?
The cholesterol-lowering effect of plant stanol/sterol esters occurs through “ competition” between dietary cholesterol and plant stanols for incorporation into mixed micelles in the intestine. This leads to a decrease in the amount of dietary cholesterol adsorbed into the bloodstream from the intestine. Therefore, less dietary cholesterol then enters our circulation and less cholesterol is absorbed by our body.
How much CholestOff® should I take daily?
Nature Made CholestOff® products provide 1,800 mg of plant sterols and stanols daily that many Americans need to reach the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Therapeutic Lifestyle Change Guidelines. These guidelines include 2,000 mg of plant sterols and stanols per day.
