FAQ
- What are plant sterols, and how do they support heart health?
Plant sterols (also called phytosterols) are naturally occurring compounds found in vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, and whole grains. Because they have a structure similar to cholesterol, they help reduce the absorption of dietary cholesterol in the digestive tract. Swanson Maximum Strength Plant Sterols features CardioAid® Phytosterols to help maintain healthy cholesterol levels already within the normal range and support overall cardiovascular wellness as part of a heart-healthy lifestyle. - What makes CardioAid® Phytosterols different?
CardioAid® is a branded blend of plant sterols that provides a minimum of 90% plant sterol esters, including beta-sitosterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, brassicasterol, and beta-sitostanol. These naturally occurring phytosterols have been studied for their ability to support healthy cholesterol absorption and cardiovascular health when consumed as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol. - How do plant sterols help maintain healthy cholesterol levels?
Plant sterols compete with dietary cholesterol for absorption in the small intestine. By reducing the amount of cholesterol absorbed from food, they help maintain healthy cholesterol levels already within the normal range. For best results, plant sterols should be consumed with meals as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol. - How do plant sterols work?
Plant sterols (also called phytosterols) have a structure similar to cholesterol. When consumed with meals, they compete with dietary cholesterol for absorption in the small intestine. As a result, less cholesterol is absorbed into the bloodstream, helping to maintain healthy cholesterol levels that are already within the normal range as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol. Swanson Maximum Strength Plant Sterols features CardioAid® Phytosterols, a clinically studied blend designed to support cardiovascular wellness and healthy cholesterol management as part of a heart-healthy lifestyle. - Can plant sterols be taken with statins?
Many people use plant sterols alongside statin medications, since the two support healthy cholesterol management through different mechanisms. If you are taking a statin or any prescription medication, consult your healthcare provider before adding a plant sterol supplement to ensure it is appropriate for your individual health needs. Swanson Maximum Strength Plant Sterols is intended to complement—not replace—a healthy diet, regular exercise, and any treatment plan recommended by your healthcare provider. - Is Swanson Maximum Strength Plant Sterols suitable for special dietary needs?
