NOW Foods Beta-Sitosterol con CardioAid-S y Aceite de Pescado, 90 Cápsulas

What is Beta-Sitosterol?

Beta-sitosterol is a natural plant sterol found in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Its structure is similar to that of cholesterol, allowing it to compete with cholesterol in the intestine and reduce its absorption. CardioAid®-S is a patented form of plant sterol esters that offers improved bioavailability. This NOW Foods supplement combines beta-sitosterol with CardioAid-S and fish oil to support cardiovascular health.

Support for healthy cholesterol levels

Plant sterols help maintain normal blood cholesterol levels. High cholesterol is a risk factor in the development of heart disease, so keeping it within healthy ranges is important for cardiovascular well-being. This product is formulated to help maintain cholesterol levels already within the normal range.

Key ingredients: plant sterols and fish oil

Each serving provides 1,000 mg of plant sterol esters (CardioAid-S) in a fish oil base. Plant sterols are natural compounds that help reduce the absorption of dietary cholesterol. Fish oil complements the formula by offering omega-3 fatty acids.

• CardioAid®-S: Patented plant sterol esters.
• Fish oil: Source of omega-3 fatty acids.
• Beta-sitosterol: The most common plant sterol in supplements.

How does it work?

Plant sterols work by partially blocking the absorption of cholesterol in the small intestine. By consuming them regularly with meals containing cholesterol, they can help keep LDL cholesterol levels within a healthy range, without negatively affecting HDL cholesterol. This mechanism has been supported by scientific studies.
