Study shown that consumption of 1.2g – 1.6g of plant sterols per day (in milk) over 4 weeks reduced the LDL-cholesterol level, in mildly hypercholesterolemic subjects, by 7% and 10% respectively (Thomsen et al, 2004).

Yes, according to studies, plant sterols can be safely consumed daily by people currently on statin medication. Plant sterols work in the gut where cholesterol is absorbed, while statins target the liver where cholesterol is produced. Consult your doctor or dietitian if you have specific concerns.

The recommended intake is 2 servings per day to effectively reduce blood cholesterol. However, the level of reduction may vary among individuals.

There are no known negative side effects from consuming more than 2 servings daily. However, intake above 3g of plant sterols per day is unlikely to provide additional cholesterol-lowering benefits. A balanced diet rich in fibre is still recommended.
