ModuChol

Plant sterol esters are plant fats or phytosterols that are naturally occurring in all fruits and vegetables. Research for the past fifty years has shown that consuming plant sterol esters play an important role in lowering the “bad” or low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol level. Taken daily, plant sterol esters may lower LDL cholesterol 8-15% in as little as four weeks.

If you are pregnant, nursing or receiving medical treatment, use only under the supervision of a healthcare professional. Long-term high dose supplementation with plant sterols may inhibit the absorption of the pre-vitamin beta-carotene. This is easily counteracted by increased intake of carotene-rich vitamins or foods. Otherwise, plant sterols are typically well tolerated.

There are no known interactions between the ingredients in ModuChol and any prescribed medications or dietary supplements.

Based on results from numerous clinical trials, a daily intake of at least 1.3 grams of plant sterol esters will achieve significant cholesterol reduction. One study saw cholesterol reduction of 8-15% in as little as four weeks. After examining this scientific research, the FDA issued a regulation allowing foods and supplements offering a daily dietary intake of 1.3 grams of plant sterol esters per day to make a cholesterol claim called a “health claim.” See 21 C.F.R. (Code of Federal Regulations) Section 101.83. Foods containing at least 0.65 g per serving of plant sterol esters, eaten twice a day with meals for a daily total intake of at least 1.3 g as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.

As with any natural supplement, it can take a period of time before benefits can be observed. Though some individuals might see results in as little as four weeks, we recommend supplementing with plant sterols for an average of eight to twelve weeks before testing for results. Also, please be sure to inform your healthcare practitioner about the use of plant sterols in your healthy heart plan.

ModuChol consists of plant sterol esters which have been clinically proven to reduce LDL cholesterol level, a major indicator for heart disease. ModuChol contains 0.65 g of plant sterol esters in each capsule (take 2 capsules daily). These plant sterol esters compete with dietary cholesterol, so when ModuChol is consumed with food, less cholesterol is absorbed by the small intestine, ultimately lowering harmful LDL which means reduced risk for heart disease. ModuChol, taken daily, results in a daily intake of 1.3 grams of plant sterol esters and therefore, is eligible for the FDA-approved health claim.
