Plant sterol spreads are enriched with natural plant sterols which reduce cholesterol absorption.Plant sterols are found naturally in small amounts in plant foods including vegetable oils, margarines, nuts, seeds, legumes, vegetables and fruits. At the levels found in Flora pro-activ, plant sterols partially block the absorption of cholesterol from the intestine reducing the amount that reaches the bloodstream. Many studies using plant sterol enriched spreads conducted in Australia, New Zealand, Europe and the United States show plant sterol spreads lower 'bad' LDL cholesterol by an average of 10% in 3 weeks. There is no effect on the 'good' HDL cholesterol. For more information about plant sterols visit the Heart Foundation’s website at www.heartfoundation.com.au

Cholesterol is a natural substance that we all have floating around in our bodies. Every single cell in the body needs and contains cholesterol. Although a low level of cholesterol in the blood is natural and healthy, a high level can cause problems. When the level of cholesterol in the blood is high, the cholesterol can ‘stick to’ the insides of the blood vessels. Thus, the risk of cholesterol clogging up the coronary arteries is increased which could lead to heart attack or stroke. Lowering the blood cholesterol levels by diet or medication reduces the risk.
