SANDERSON Cholesterol FX 90 Capsules
Cholesterol FX is an effective support for healthy cholesterol levels
What is Cholesterol?
Cholesterol is a compound that is an integral structural component of cell membranes and a precursor in the synthesis of steroid hormones. Dietary cholesterol is obtained from animal sources, but cholesterol is also synthesized by the liver. Cholesterol is carried in the blood by lipoproteins. There are two types of cholesterol, high-density lipoproteins (HDL) and low-density lipoproteins (LDL). LDL is what is referred to as ābad cholesterolā.
What is Sanderson Cholesterol FX?
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 cholesterol absorption. Dietary intakes of phytosterols need to be higher to support healthy cholesterol levels. The proprietary ingredient in Cholesterol FX is ReducolĀ®, a unique non-GMO complex of phytosterols derived from conifer trees.

What does the research say?
Over 150 scientific studies have shown that plant sterols and stanols offer significant benefits in supporting healthy levels of cholesterol. Dietary intakes of phytosterols of at least 800 mg per day or higher are needed to support healthy cholesterol levels (Hendriks et al 1999). The US National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) recommends the addition of up to 2g/day of phytosterols to diet. This is recommended in conjunction with dietary modification to reduce the intake of saturated fats (less than 7% of calories) and cholesterol (less than 200mg/day), plus increased dietary fibre (5-10g/day) and weight reduction by around 4.5kg. Trials have established that the optimal dose for the ReducolĀ® in Cholesterol FX is 1800mg per day.
