NOW Foods Beta-Sitosterol Plant Sterols, 180 Softgels

NOW Foods Beta-Sitosterol Plant Sterols is a softgel supplement formulated to support cardiovascular health, specifically designed to help maintain cholesterol levels already within the normal range. It features CardioAid®-S Plant Sterol Esters, a patented blend of esterified beta-sitosterol, campesterol, and stigmasterol that provides 1 gram per serving, delivered in a base of natural fish oil concentrate. The manufacturer notes that plant sterols are structurally similar to cholesterol and may help limit its absorption from the digestive tract.

This product uses CardioAid®-S, a registered trademark of Archer-Daniels-Midland Company, and includes fish oil from sardines, anchovies, and mackerel. The softgel capsules are made with bovine gelatin that is BSE-free. NOW Foods states that each serving offers 1 gram of plant sterol esters, aligning with the FDA-qualified health claim that consuming at least 0.65 grams twice daily with meals, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. It is produced in a GMP facility in the USA with globally sourced ingredients and is available in 90- and 180-softgel sizes.
