Plant sterols (also known as phytosterols) are natural substances found in plants that decrease the absorption of cholesterol in the intestines, in turn lowering your cholesterol and risk of developing coronary heart disease.

Statins are the most commonly prescribed medicine in the UK. Just like plant sterols, they lower cholesterol levels but work in a different way. Instead of blocking cholesterol absorption in the intestine, statins block a substance in the liver that the body needs for cholesterol production.

The problem with statins is, just like all medications, there can be side effects and statins have a long list.

Common statins side effects include increased appetite, muscle aches, headaches, back pain, nausea, and fatigue.

By contrast, there are few reported side effects associated with taking plant sterols. Making them an appealing and effective alternative to statins.***

Speaking of the side effects, one Healthspan customer said “After a serious intolerance to statins, causing severe muscular pain, I started plant sterols. At my next review my cholesterol level was fine and has been for the last six years” with another saying “A great alternative to statins with no painful side effects.”

One of Healthspan’s 800mg Plant Sterols tablets taken once a day is all you need to maintain normal cholesterol levels. Or if you want to lower your cholesterol, take 2-3 tablets daily, for a maximum total of 2,400mg Plant Sterols.

Because statins and plant sterols work in different ways, you can even take both for a two-pronged approach to lowering cholesterol.
