Plant stanols and your patients
Plant stanol ester, the cholesterol-lowering ingredient in Benecol foods, provides a safe and effective way to lower your patients' LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) as part of a healthy diet. Benecol's range of cholesterol-lowering foods provides rapid and sustainable cholesterol reduction.
Cholesterol lowering
The cholesterol-lowering effect of the plant stanols in Benecol products has been demonstrated in over 80 published clinical studies. A daily intake of 1.5–3.0 g of plant stanols reduces LDL cholesterol by 7–12.5% in 2–3 weeks, an effect sustained while intake stays within the recommended range.
