New Roots Herbal - Sterols & Sterolins Cholesterol, 120 Each, $47.49
Dietary Terms: Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Wheat Free, Non-GMO, Product of Canada Phytosterols and sterolins are plant fats and alcohols. They were originally suspected of being good immune modulators, but more recently, their ability to modulate and lower cholesterol has moved to the forefront. Phytosterols have been shown to inhibit the uptake of both dietary and endogenously produced (biliary) cholesterol from the intestine. There are several proposed mechanisms by which phytosterols decrease serum cholesterol levels; one of them suggests that cholesterol in the intestine, already marginally soluble, is precipitated into a nonabsorbable state in the presence of added phytosterols. New Roots Herbal?s Sterols?and Sterolins Cholesterol provides sufficient potency for therapeutic effect. Our product includes a full range of sterols in their naturally present ratios.
