Solgar Phytosterol Complex Softgels is a food supplement providing a complex of plant sterols, including beta-sitosterol, campesterol, stigmasterol and brassicasterol, in a pack of 100 softgels, taken as 2 softgels twice daily. Plant sterols have been shown to lower or reduce blood cholesterol, an effect obtained with a daily intake of at least 2 g of plant sterols, which this product's suggested dose is designed to provide.
**Key Features**
- **Reduces blood cholesterol:** Plant sterols have been shown to lower or reduce blood cholesterol; high cholesterol is a risk factor in the development of coronary heart disease.
- **Meets the effective daily intake:** The suggested dose of 4 softgels a day (2 softgels twice daily) provides the daily intake of at least 2 g of plant sterols needed for the cholesterol-lowering effect.
- **Multiple plant sterols:** Combines four plant sterols, beta-sitosterol, campesterol, stigmasterol and brassicasterol, in one softgel complex.
- **Large 100-softgel pack:** Provides a 25-day supply at the suggested dose of 4 softgels a day.
### What are plant sterols?
Plant sterols, also called phytosterols, are naturally occurring compounds found in plant cell membranes. Solgar's complex is derived from soy and includes beta-sitosterol, campesterol, stigmasterol and brassicasterol.
### Is Phytosterol Complex suitable for vegans or vegetarians?
No. The softgel capsule shell is made from bovine gelatin, so this product is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians.
### Can I take more than the suggested dose?
Solgar's product information does not state a maximum daily intake. The suggested dose of 4 softgels a day already provides the daily intake of at least 2 g of plant sterols shown to be effective.
