Phytosterols are plant sterols, natural compounds that are found in vegetable oils. Dietary supplements containing at least 400 mg per serving of plant sterols, taken twice a day with meals for a daily intake of at least 800 mg, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. Policosanols also support cardiovascular function by helping to maintain healthy cholesterol levels already in the normal range. Vitamin E, selenium and olive leaf provide antioxidant benefits to promote healthy functioning cells and support a healthy cardiovascular system. Basi Chol is 100% vegetarian.
