Beta-sitosterol
Beta-sitosterol is a substance found in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. It is commonly used to support the immune system and the cardiovascular system. The reason it is thought to support cholesterol levels already within a natural range is because of its similar structure to cholesterol which limits the amount of cholesterol the body allows in. Beta-sitosterol is also thought to bind to the prostate and support it in reducing swelling.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Meta-Sitosterolâ„¢ 2.0 compare to other products or approaches?
As a nutraceutical , this product is formulated to complement dietary measures to promote cardiovascular health.

How does Meta-Sitosterolâ„¢ 2.0 work?
