- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 March 2020Just a little bit about me, male 45, reasonably fit and healthy for my age. I live an active life, I dont drink but I do smoke socially. I had a work related general health test which is where I learned that I had high cholesterol, 7.4...high cholesterol is in my family, my mother was over 10 and is on medication for the rest of her life. So to be honest it was no great shock to me that mine was this high despite eating healthily.
I went to my doctors and he just told me to quit smoking and eat better, I'm already a great lover of porridge so that box was ticked however I started to introduce foodstuffs that lower or maintain cholesterol spreds and the like.
6 months later I had the test again, this time it had gone down but only to 6.7, progress yes but not enough.
After a bit of research and following advice I purchased these sterols. I was taking 3 a day in the morning religiously. I completed 1 course over 40 days, and got tested again.
Now I dont expect you to believe me as I cant believe it myself but my cholesterol level dropped to 4.2
I'm continuing with another cycle at 3 a day until I reach 3.0ish then I will switch to 1 tablet to maintain my levels.
Do what you will with that information, but it worked for me, I dont feel any different physically now to having a much higher cholesterol lvl, but I'm happier in the knowledge that it's being reduced and managed.
I hope you have the same results.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 September 2024I bought this product after reading reviews from people who had found them helpful in lowering their cholesterol. I do not smoke or drink, eat healthily and exercise daily, but find myself being advised I have high cholesterol, so thought I would give them a go. I noted other reviews about the size of the tablets and difficulty in swallowing them, but being okay with tablets normally, I didn’t think it would be an issue. I was wrong ….. they are absolutely enormous, but worse still ‘box shaped’ with sharp edges and a chalky finish. The first attempt got wedged in my throat and was quite a frightening experience. The second I decided to break in half, but was no better. I am taking three a day, so on the third I chose to crush it into a powder and add it to a small amount of yoghurt. Success. I believe this is probably the only way to use this product safely. After three weeks I feel different somehow and feel that they are working, but the proof will be when I have my next blood test.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 November 2024Started taking these as they were recommended by a friend. Felt so much better but had to stop due to surgery. Will start again soon. Can’t wait to see how much my cholesterol will come down.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 March 2023My cholesterol level was 6.6. I love my food so to strike some kind of a deal with this, I'll sometimes have one slice of toast with lots of lovely butter, another slice with a spread ( Flore, Benecol etc ) containing sterols. Mix and match a bit, balancing things out, layman's logic. Regarding the pills, it's one a day for me. Had some blood tests done recently for an unrelated issue and when reading off the results she mentioned cholesterol level - 5.3. I'd totally forgotten about it in truth, but it was a rather pleasant note, certainly better than being told ' your cholesterol's high ' .
The tablets are quite large , if you struggle then you can break them up and swallow the bits. They're cost-effective, too. No way will I pay the price of those one-a-day yogurty shots with plant sterols in them. Ridiculous price. So, my approach is don't make yourself miserable by avoiding things you enjoy eating, just balance things out a bit and take something like one of these tablets a day. Not even sure if I need to be using stuff like the spread etc, but in case I forget one, I'll have the other. Not in huge quantities either, it's not necessary.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 January 2025Bought these to help reduce my cholesterol. The tablets were good value for money but unfortunately too large for me to swallow easily and would keep getting stuck in my throat. Not sure they made a difference as after 3 months there was no noticeable change in my cholesterol
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 July 2022Took these for 3 months due to high'ish cholesterol. 3 a day and then was retested. My LDL went from 3.6 to 2.7 and my HDH from 1.69 to 2.39. This has prevented my GP putting me on statins which makes me happy.
I did also start taking cod liver oil and I now eat more fatty fish which would have helped but these tablets are sure are the major contributor to my healthier being.
They are bl00dy large to swallow though & I am don't usually have problems swallowing tablets, just chase them down with water.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 January 2025I've made a school boy error!
I really should of listen to previous reviews in regards to the size of the tablet.
If like me you aren't great at swallowing tablets then maybe best look at another product.
If however you do buy these like I have done then I recommend you also purchase an angle grinder and eye protection from all the debris as you attempt to break the brick down into manageable pieces.
It recommends that if cholesterol levels are high then take 3 bricks daily until your levels lower.
I'm breaking them down to 8 pieces per tablet ( 8x3 =24) so I recommend perhaps getting up at 2am to give you a chance of consuming all those pieces by the time you working day begins.
The positives so far is that to take 3 of these you would need to consume 100 gallons of water so would not have any space left in your stomach, so you will lose substantial amounts of weight.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 July 2024good quality but if you do not like big tablets these are not for you they are huge you can cut them in half to make it easier.

In Kombination mit 2x tgl 500 mg Berberin und 2x tgl Plant Sterols sind meine Cholesterinwerte nach 4 Wochen besser als mit klassischen Cholesterinsenkern. Dazu auch keine unangenehmen Nebenwirkungen. Zudem haben sich meine Nüchternblutzuckerwerte verbessert.
