Plant Sterol LDL Lowering
Plant sterol LDL lowering targets about two grams daily of stanols or sterols to modestly block cholesterol absorption—an adjunct to broader lipid habits.
Plant sterol LDL lowering uses two grams daily of stanols or sterols from fortified spreads, yogurts, or supplements—blocking intestinal cholesterol absorption in trials by modest LDL-C amounts. Food-first patterns still need fiber, activity, and weight control; sterols adjunct statins for some patients under clinician advice.
Not for children or pregnant adults unless directed.
