Benecol® contains Plant Stanol Ester, which helps block the uptake of cholesterol in the gut. Therefore, with Benecol® less cholesterol enters the blood stream.
The body naturally produces cholesterol and cholesterol is also contained in the food we eat. Both these sources of cholesterol enter the bloodstream, and can be blocked by Benecol®.
Normally 50% of cholesterol is absorbed into the bloodstream. Benecol® reduces this amount to about 30%. The rest simply passes out of the body.
