Summary

This study tested whether a special extract from plants (phytosterols and phytostanols) can help lower cholesterol levels in adults with high cholesterol. 42 people took either the extract or a placebo for a period of time. The main goal was to see if the extract could reduce total and LDL (bad) cholesterol.
