Super Phytosterols
The Vitamin Shoppe
Overview
Super Phytosterols effectively utilizes plant sterols and stanols, which are well-researched for their ability to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol. While a single tablet (900mg) is below the minimum effective dose, the suggested daily intake of three tablets (2700mg) aligns with studies showing significant reductions in LDL cholesterol. The product's efficacy is well-supported by scientific evidence on phytosterol action, mainly by inhibiting cholesterol absorption.
