Col-Sterol is a blend of plant sterol esters that helps to decrease total and LDL cholesterol levels. Plant sterols have a similar structure to cholesterol but differ in their side chain groups. Plant sterol intake leads to a continuous cycle of decreased dietary cholesterol absorption increased cholesterol use for bile acid synthesis decreased bile acid reabsorption and increased cholesterol excretion in the feces. In a double blind placebo-controlled study supplementation with 1.3 g of sterol esters daily for four weeks decreased total cholesterol and LDL levels by approximately 5 and 4% respectively in 16 hypercholesterolemic adults.
