CholestIntercept

What is Cholest Intercept?

Nature has provided an elegant solution to the cholesterol problem. Plants contain sterols, compounds that are structurally very similar to cholesterol. Sterols compete with dietary cholesterol for absorption in the small intestine. When Cholest Intercept® is taken with meals, the body absorbs less cholesterol from fish, meat, dairy and eggs. Clinical studies suggest that the plant sterols in Cholest Intercept may reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol levels up to 15% in as little as 4 weeks.*

Size/Form: 60 Tablets

Directions: Take 2 tablets, two times daily, with a meal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are the Plant Sterols in Cholest Intercept™ Clinically Studied?
A: Cholest Intercept is an advanced formula that features Heart Choice® plant sterols along with B-vitamins. Plant sterols have been the subject of extensive clinical research. Cholest Intercept provides a clinically effective plant sterol dose – a total of 2 grams daily.* The clinical evidence is so compelling that the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) recommends that adults with elevated cholesterol consume plant sterols daily to enhance cholesterol lowering.

Q: How Does Cholest Intercept™ Work?
A: Nature has provided an elegant solution to the cholesterol problem. Plants contain compounds called sterols that can actively compete with food cholesterol for absorption in the small intestines. Therefore, when Cholest Intercept is taken with meals, the body absorbs less cholesterol from fish, meat, dairy, eggs and other animal products. This results in lower levels of LDL cholesterol in the blood. Results may be noticed as early as 4 weeks.*‡

Q: When do I take Cholest Intercept™?
A: It is recommended that you take Cholest Intercept twice a day with meals.

Q: Is Cholest Intercept™ Safe? Can I Use it with Cholesterol-Lowering Medication?
A: Cholest Intercept is a natural dietary supplement and is 100% drug-free. Extensive research documents that plant sterols either in foods or in supplements are well tolerated when taken as directed. Cholest Intercept can be safely taken in conjunction with cholesterol lowering statin drugs for additional cholesterol lowering benefits.*

Note: Cholest Intercept is not intended to replace cholesterol-lowering medication. Consult your health care professional before taking Cholest Intercept with prescription therapy.

*Foods and supplements containing at least 400 mg per serving of plant sterols 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. One serving of Cholest Intercept provides 1,000 mg of plant sterols.
