Cholesterol maintenance is an important part of many people’s diet and lifestyle regimes. Blackmores Cholesterol Health contains plant sterols, which research shows a daily dose of 2-3 grams of plant sterols from plant sterol-enriched food helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels.

It also contains betacarotene, as betacarotene absorption may be reduced when taking plant sterols. Plant sterols are fat-like compounds with a chemical structure that is very similar to cholesterol. However, compared to cholesterol, plant sterols are only minimally absorbed. They are naturally present in everyday foods especially in vegetables, fruit, nuts, grains and cooking oils. During digestion, the plant sterols compete with cholesterol for absorption. What this means is that less cholesterol is absorbed and more cholesterol is excreted.
