| Are You Aware of Beta Sitosterol? elptA Powerful Heart 
        Nutrient That
 Lowers Cholesterol.
      Beta Sitosterol has an excellent track record in lowering cholesterol.
 
        Beta Sitosterol is a plant sterol that has 
        been shown to lower cholesterol levels up to 10% or more by reducing intestinal 
absorption. The reduction of cholesterol levels appears to be because beta-sitosterol blocks absorption of cholesterol. 
        The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 
        has approved a claim that reads as follows: 
        "Products containing a 
        least 400 mg per serving of plant sterols and stanols, eaten 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." 
        Beta-sitosterol is one of several plant sterols found in almost all plants. High levels are found in rice bran, wheat germ, corn oil, and soybeans. 
        Peanuts and its products, such as peanut oil, peanut butter, and peanut flour, are good sources of plant sterols, particularly beta-sitosterol. 
        When purchasing peanut butter be sure to get the all natural organic 
        product with no trans fats.  
        Health benefits of  beta sitosterol are 
        numerous and include lowering LDL cholesterol, supporting immune system 
        function, heart health, and prostate health. 
        Beta Sitosterol has been effective in reducing symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia 
        or BPH which is a common condition of men over age 50.
