Proto-Sitosterol 90gels is a unique dietary supplement that contains CardioAid-S Plant Sterol Esters. These ester forms of plant sterols, including Beta-Sitosterol, Campesterol, and Stigmasterol, are structurally similar to cholesterol. Plant sterols have been found to compete with cholesterol in the digestive tract, which can limit its absorption. Therefore, Proto-Sitosterol can help maintain cholesterol levels that are already within the normal range.

To reduce the risk of heart disease, it is recommended to consume foods that contain at least 0.65 grams per serving of plant sterol esters, twice a day with meals, for a daily total intake of at least 1.3 grams. Proto-Sitosterol Plant Sterol Esters with Fish Oil provides 1 gram (1000 mg) of plant sterol esters in a base of fish oil per serving.

To incorporate Proto-Sitosterol into your daily routine, simply take 2 softgels twice daily with meals as a dietary supplement. Each serving contains 1 gram (1000 mg) of CardioAid-S Plant Sterol Esters, which includes 400 mg of Beta-Sitosterol, as well as Campesterol and Stigmasterol. Additionally, each serving contains 120 mg of natural fish oil concentrate.

The softgels are formulated with a combination of gelatin, glycerin, water, and carob. They also include soy lecithin. Please note that Proto-Sitosterol contains fish (sardines, anchovies, mackerel) and soy.

Rest assured, Proto-Sitosterol is free from common allergens such as yeast, wheat, gluten, milk, egg, shellfish, and tree nuts. It is produced in a GMP facility that processes other ingredients containing these allergens.

It is important to exercise caution and be aware of potential interactions. While Beta-Sitosterol is generally well tolerated, some individuals may experience minor gastrointestinal upset. Furthermore, taking Beta-Sitosterol may worsen sitosterolemia, a rare inherited lipid storage disease. Additionally, Plant Sterols may interact with Zetia (ezetimibe) and statin medications. If you are currently taking these or other prescription medications, or if you have other health conditions, it is advisable to consult your healthcare practitioner before using Proto-Sitosterol.
