Description
Cholesterol is a compound that is an integral structural component of cell membranes and a precursor in the synthesis of steroid hormones.
The active ingredient in Cholesterol FX is a unique patented product that has been the subject of extensive scientific trials showing it to be an effective support in the active management of healthy cholesterol. It is a natural product sourced from pine trees, that is non-GMO and a low allergy formulation. Cholesterol FX is vegetarian friendly and comes in an easy to swallow capsule.
Phytosterols (plant sterols and stanols) are the plant equivalent to animal cholesterol. In both animals and plants, sterols and stanols are essential components of the cell membrane. Phytosterols are present in all foods of plant origin.
The average human diet includes about 167-437 mg of phytosterols per day (Ostlund 2002). Phytosterols, because of their similar structure to cholesterol, compete with cholesterol absorption mechanisms in the intestine.
The amounts of phytosterols present in the diet, however, are not usually sufficient to affect blood levels of cholesterol. Dietary intakes of phytosterols need to be higher to support healthy cholesterol levels.
