Benecol


BenecolĀ® products include a range of tasty foods such as yogurt drinks, yogurts and spreads, which contain a unique cholesterol lowering ingredient - plant stanol ester. Plant stanols interfere with cholesterol absorption which results in reduced serum LDL cholesterol levels. The cholesterol lowering efficacy of plant stanols in BenecolĀ® foods has been proven in over 80 clinical studies and this research has shown that consuming 2g of plant stanols daily with meals, can lower cholesterol by 7-10% in just 2-3 weeks.* This reduction is in addition to what can be achieved with a healthy diet and lifestyle improvements, and/or cholesterol lowering medication. Many international guidelines for the management of dyslipidaemias recommend the use of plant stanols as part of healthy lifestyle changes. *Plant stanol ester has been shown to lower cholesterol. High cholesterol is a risk factor in the development of coronary heart disease. A daily intake of plant stanols has been shown to lower cholesterol in 2-3 weeks. Individual results may vary.
