Additional notes

"Use: Contains phytosterols that can help reduce blood cholesterol by limiting the amount of cholesterol that can enter the body. Online Source: Cleveland Clinic: https://health.clevelandclinic.org/sterols-and-stanols-what-you-need-to-know/ Academic Source: Annual Review of Nutrition: https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/annurev.nutr.22.020402.130302 Precautions: Even though phytosterols are generally safe for most people, they might interfere with the absorption of certain fat-soluble vitamins (like vitamins A, D, E, and K). It's essential to ensure a balanced diet to compensate for any potential nutrient loss. As always, it's vital to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement, especially when combining multiple products."
