NFH Chol SAP-15, 120 Softgels

NFH Chol SAP-15 provides plant sterols in their natural, non-esterified form — 350 mg per softgel, combining beta-sitosterol, stigmasterol, and campesterol — built on an organic flax seed oil base for absorption, which also contributes omega-3 ALA.

How plant sterols work

Plant sterols are structurally similar to cholesterol, which lets them compete with dietary cholesterol for absorption in the gut — effectively blocking some of it from entering the bloodstream. Clinical evidence shows plant sterol intakes of about 1.05 g per day can lower LDL and total cholesterol by 8-15%, a meaningful effect for a non-drug intervention.

Often chosen by

• Anyone supporting healthy LDL and total cholesterol levels
• People looking for a diet-based approach alongside lifestyle changes
• Those wanting the added benefit of flax-derived omega-3 ALA

Format and exclusions

120 softgels per bottle, 3 daily with food. Non-GMO, and made without gluten, dairy, soy, or artificial additives.

Before you start

Take consistently with meals for best effect, and allow several weeks to assess cholesterol changes. Plant sterols can slightly reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins with long-term high-dose use, so check with a healthcare practitioner if you're on cholesterol medication. Store in a cool, dry place, and keep out of reach of children.
