Phytosterol Supplementation and Cardiovascular Risk
Effectiveness of Phytosterol Supplementation on Select Indices of Cardiovascular Risk

This study examined the effects of 2.6 g/d of phytosterol ingestion on LDL cholesterol metabolism. It is expected that this dose will significantly reduce LDL cholesterol after 12 weeks of supplementation.

This study examined the effects of 2.6 g/d of phytosterol ingestion on LDL cholesterol metabolism. It is expected that this dose will significantly reduce LDL cholesterol after 12 weeks of supplementation.

The study recruited 72 men and women 20-70 years of age with mild hypercholesteremia (>130 mg/dl LDL-C). They were assigned to 1 of 2 groups. Participants ingested the supplement or a placebo for 12 weeks, with an interim assessment at 6 weeks. Participants agreed to maintain current diet, medication, and exercise habits and to not donate blood during the trial.
