                                According to HEART UK, consuming between 1.5 and 3 grams of plant sterols or stanols daily can reduce cholesterol levels by up to 10% within three weeks when combined with a healthy diet. These beneficial plant compounds are often added to a variety of everyday foods to help people achieve this intake, as natural food sources do not provide high enough amounts.
