Introduction to Cholesterol Management
Cholesterol management is critical to maintaining cardiovascular health, particularly regarding reducing the risk of heart disease. Elevated cholesterol levels are a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), which remains the leading cause of death globally, affecting 37% of women in Europe.1 Both men and women are affected, but women, especially during perimenopause and menopause, face unique challenges due to hormonal changes that impact heart health.2
Scientific Backing for Vitasterol S-80®
Vitasterol S-80®, a plant-based sterol, has emerged as an ingredient to fight against high cholesterol. Backed by over 140 clinical trials, phytosterols have been shown to lower cholesterol levels, making them a valuable addition to any cholesterol management regimen and an alternative or complement to red yeast rice. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) supports the claim that plant sterols, such as those found in Vitasterol S-80®, can reduce blood cholesterol levels. Studies have shown that reducing total cholesterol by as little as 10% could correlate to a significantly reduced incidence of cardiovascular disease.3
Innovative Sample Applications in Gummy and Liquid Sachets
One of the most exciting developments in cholesterol management is the introduction of Vitasterol S-80® in new, convenient formats: gummies and sachets. The gummies are delicious and free from GMOs, gluten, and lactose, making them suitable for a wide range of dietary preferences. Each gummy dose contains a precise amount of Vitasterol S-80®, ensuring consistent and effective cholesterol management. In addition, the sachets offer a portable and easy-to-use option for those on the go. Each sachet contains a liquid stick of Vitasterol S-80®, which can be taken directly without needing water. This format is particularly beneficial for individuals who prefer not to take pills or capsules.

Cholesterol Management for Women
For women, particularly those in perimenopause and menopause, managing cholesterol is crucial. The decline in estrogen levels during these stages can lead to an increase in LDL cholesterol and a decrease in HDL cholesterol, heightening the risk of heart disease.2
Incorporating Vitasterol S-80® into their daily regimen can help mitigate these risks by effectively lowering LDL cholesterol levels and supporting overall heart health.
Cholesterol Management for Men
Men also benefit significantly from cholesterol management with Vitasterol S-80®. High cholesterol levels are a significant risk factor for heart disease in men, and maintaining healthy cholesterol levels is essential for preventing cardiovascular events. The convenience of the new gummy and sachet formats ensures that men can easily integrate this supplement into their busy lifestyles.
