Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to measure the effectiveness of a twice daily plant sterol supplement, which is in a gummy format and packaged with health insights, in reducing LDL-C cholesterol in a real word setting.
Detailed description
While the safety and benefits of plant sterol supplements have been established and are incorporated into many lipid lowering guidelines, there have been few prior studies of plant sterol chewables in gummy format among real world subjects. In this study, we aim to measure the LDL-C reducing impact of regular plant sterol supplementation in a real world setting.
