NOW® Beta-Sitosterol Plant Sterols provide CardioAid®-S plant sterol esters — a combination of the ester forms of beta-sitosterol, campesterol and stigmasterol — in a base of fish oil.* Plant sterols are structurally similar to cholesterol, so they help limit the absorption of cholesterol from the digestive tract, helping maintain cholesterol levels already within the normal range.* Each serving offers 1 gram (1,000 mg) of plant sterol esters plus added fish oil.* A convenient way to bring plant sterols — the compounds behind many cholesterol-supporting foods — into a daily routine that includes a diet low in saturated fat.*
