Cholestamin

CholestMin contains plant Sterols/Stanols which have been proven to lower cholesterol naturally.
Plant Sterols/Stanols (Phytosterols) are compounds found naturally in plants that are structurally similar to cholesterol. Phytosterols compete with cholesterol for intestinal absorption and thereby help in lowering serum cholesterol concentrations.
Meta-analyses of clinical trials indicate about 10-25 per cent reduction of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol when Phytosterols are consumed at the recommonded dosage of 2 gm/day. Thus, Phytosterols can be an important part of an overall dietary strategy to manage cholesterol levels, particularly for patients who cannot tolerate cholesterol-lowering drugs.
A reduced blood cholesterol level is associated with a reduced risk of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) and stroke. As co-therapy with statin drungs, Phytosterols provide additional LDL cholesterol lowering benefit that is more effective than doubling the statin dose.
