Research by Karl Pegel from the University of Natal Republic of South Africa reports that a quality diet should provide 200-300 mg of plant sterols per day. Based on the far-reaching benefits of plant sterols, scientists have concluded that supplementation is necessary to achieve the recommended daily intake.†

ENTERIC-COATED capsules protect sterols from being destroyed by harsh stomach acids. Sterol 117 capsules are enteric coated with a seaweed derivative to allow the capsules to pass safely and directly into the small intestine.†
