Plant Sterols and Heart Disease


In recent years, the Food and Drug Administration approved a health claim for plant sterols and heart disease. The FDA states that “Foods containing at least .65 grams per serving of plant sterol esters, consumed twice a day with meals for a daily total intake of at least 1.3 grams, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.” A one caplet serving of Res-Q LDL-x2 With Niacin (Res-Q LDL-x2), contains .65 grams of plant sterols, taken twice a day with meals, equals a daily total intake of 1.3 grams of plant sterol esters. The FDA further acknowledges that “the scientific evidence established that including plant sterols in the diet helps to lower blood total and LDL cholesterol levels.”

Plant Sterols are an active ingredient in Res-Q LDL-x2. Res-Q LDL-x2 works in conjunction with Res-Q 1250 to promote good cardiovascular health by promoting circulation and cholesterol well-being. The plant sterols in Res-Q LDL-x2 reduce the absorption of dietary cholesterol and inhibit the re-absorption of body-produced cholesterol. Res-Q 1250 provides the proper balance of omega-3 fatty acids for good cardiovascular health. Since the total cholesterol number consists of both the triglycerides, and the LDL cholesterol, it is a good idea to take Res-Q LDL-x2 and Res-Q 1250. Res-Q LDL-x2 with Niacin is the first choice for complete cardiovascular health. However, Res-Q LDL-x2 is also available without Niacin for those who request Res-Q LDL-x2 without niacin. We recommend that our first-time buyers purchase our Basic Starter Pack which includes many extra Res-Q products for free as a bonus!
