Plant Sterols and Sterolins

Did you know plants have fat? 

These fats are called sterols and they can help build your immune system. Sterols regulate 2 types of immune helper cells called TH1 and TH2. Plant sterols and sterolins have been shown in a number of clinical trials to restore immune balance, making them highly beneficial for those with chronic infections, stress-induced immune suppression, allergies, or autoimmune conditions.

Even healthy people whose immunity is suppressed after a bout of intense exercise – such as those who participate in crossfit or marathons – have been found to benefit from the immune-regulating powers of sterols or sterolins. In one study, marathon runners who took supplemental plant sterols had fewer post-race upper respiratory infections than those taking a placebo.

Research also shows that plant sterols support healthy cholesterol levels when taken in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise. There are many different brands of plant sterols and sterolins on the market.

Find the one that’s right for you.
