NOW Foods Beta-Sitosterol Plant Sterols Softgels — 90 ct, 1,000 mg CardioAid®-S with Fish Oil for Cholesterol Support

NOW Foods Beta-Sitosterol Plant Sterols with CardioAid®-S and added Fish Oil is a softgel formula delivering 1,000 mg of plant sterol esters per serving to support healthy cholesterol levels already within the normal range.*

This supplement combines CardioAid®-S plant sterol esters — a blend of beta-sitosterol, campesterol and stigmasterol in ester form — with a fish oil base, providing a convenient 1,000 mg serving of plant sterol esters in an easy-to-swallow softgel. Plant sterols are plant-derived compounds that resemble cholesterol structurally, and when consumed with meals they can help limit the intestinal absorption of cholesterol as part of a heart-healthy diet. NOW Foods manufactures this product in GMP-certified facilities and holds UL certification, reflecting quality-focused production and testing.

How does this product help maintain normal cholesterol levels?

The plant sterol esters in CardioAid®-S compete with dietary cholesterol for absorption in the digestive tract, which can reduce the amount of cholesterol taken up by the body when used alongside a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol. This product supplies a standardized 1,000 mg of plant sterol esters per serving in a fish oil softgel to be taken with meals for optimal effect.

• 1,000 mg plant sterol esters per serving (beta-sitosterol, campesterol, stigmasterol)
• Takes effect when eaten with meals to limit cholesterol absorption
• Designed to complement a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol

Why is CardioAid®-S in ester form and what difference does fish oil make?

Esterified plant sterols are processed into forms that mix well with oils, improving incorporation into an oil-based softgel and stability. Using fish oil as the base supports formulation integrity and provides an edible medium that helps deliver the 1,000 mg plant sterol esters per softgel.

• Ester form enhances oil solubility and product stability
• Fish oil base creates a softgel that is easy to swallow
• Natural color variation may occur due to the fish oil base

How should I use these softgels for best results?

Follow the suggested serving instructions on the label and take the softgels with meals twice daily for consistent intake paired with food. Research-backed recommendations for plant sterol ester intake typically aim for at least 1.3 g per day consumed with meals; this product supplies 1.0 g per serving so follow label directions for total daily intake.

• Take with meals to optimize cholesterol absorption support
• Adhere to label dosing and combine with a heart-healthy diet
• Store in a cool, dry place; natural color variations are normal
