How do plant sterols work?
Plant sterols and cholesterol have a similar cellular structure. Due to this similarity, when we eat an effective amount of plant sterols (as found in 3 serves of Logicol® spread and yoghurt), they compete with the cholesterol in the small intestine. This reduces the amount of cholesterol being absorbed into the bloodstream, and the unabsorbed cholesterol and plant sterols simply pass through the body.
