Healthy Cholesterol Levels?

The first step to maintaining healthy cholesterol levels is a diet low in fat, (particularly saturated fat), and high in fibre. Nutritionists recommend a balanced diet containing more fruits, vegetables, fish (particularly oily fish), less saturated fat and salt.’

Including Plant Sterols in the diet may also help maintain cholesterol levels.

Numerous studies have shown the benefits of Plant Sterols in helping to maintain healthy cholesterol levels. Plant sterols are naturally occurring and can be found in small quantities in many foods and vegetables.

Some foods such as margarines now contain added plant sterols and are ideal to be taken as part of a healthy diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol.

Now there is Lepid - The more convienient way to take plant Sterols

LEPID, a food supplement, can be carried with you and taken at your convenience. The ideal time to take plant sterols is before meals so, if you are on the move then simply chew one tablet before you eat - simple as that!

Taking Plant Sterols before meals can help prevent the absorption of LDL (sometimes referred to as the ‘bad cholesterol’).

The total calorie intake per day with LEPID is 15 calories. Ideal for those who are looking to control their calorie intake and for those on a wheat free diet.

Each chewable tablet of LEPID contains 300mg of Plant Sterols. A daily intake of 900mg (3 tablets) is considered necessary to help maintain healthy cholesterol.

When should I take Lepid?

We recommend taking LEPID 3 times a day before meals for at least 3 weeks to see the benefits.

What is Cholesterol?

Cholesterol is a sterol found in animal tissue. There are basically 2 types of cholesterol.The first is Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) which carries the cholesterol to the body’s cells in the blood. Deposition of oxidised LDL can occur in the artery wall.Taking Plant Sterols before meals can help prevent the absorption of LDL Cholesterol. High Density Lipoproteins (HDL) transports cholesterol from the tissues to the liver where it may be excreted. HDL (‘good cholesterol’) helps protect LDL from oxidation.
