BenecolSoft Chews - Dietary Supplement Made with Cholesterol-Lowering Plant Stanols, which are Clinically Proven to Reduce Total & LDL Cholesterol* (60 Chocolate Chews)

Such a burst of chocolate all while taking your vitamins.

Sitostanol (Benechol or Plant Stanols and Sterols) will decrease blood plasma levels of carotenes, tocopherol, and lycopene according to sciencedirect. I didn’t see any warnings on the label about the decrease. Taking Beta-carotene and Vitamin E supplements to try to make up for the decrease may be unsafe according to webmd and/or mountsinai. For breakfast I’ll eat 40 grams of Total Cereal (which has Vitamin E), a sweet potato (which has beta carotene and is low in cadmium), tomato juice (which has lycopene) and 150 grams of Walmart (frozen diced) avocado (which significantly enhances absorption according to sciencedirect). I’ll take no Benechol with the breakfast. It takes 2 to 4 hours for the stomach to empty, then I’ll take Benechol with my next meal. Maybe that will help maintain higher blood plasma levels of carotenes, tocopherol, and lycopene. Cadmium numbers can be found at the FDA Total Diet Study (TDS) Results. Sciencedirect says avocado oil (and I assume avocado) has a high concentration of …. phytosterols that can decrease the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). So maybe avocado could be a substitute for Benechol for one meal.

I have been using this brand’s margarin for many years now. They show .42 per chewable candy but then you have to eat 4 of them to get the suggested full dosage. That means $1.68 per day and more than $50 per month. Then we need to add the cost of other pills to maintain the amount of sugar in our blood. The cost should be seen per full suggested dose and not misleading this way.

other wise taste good and flavor ok easy instructions how to use came packed very good and seal not broken, thanks amazon people for fast delivery

I much prefer using plants to help lower my stubborn cholesterol.Statins have nasty side effects for me. These chews are tasty,easy,not too expensive, but...I very strongly suspect,after having taken them now for about a week, they have CAFFEINE. They are keeping me awake at night. I desperately need my sleep! Please,say it ain't so...anyone else have caffeine sensitivity that's triggered by these? I need to figure out a solution. There must be one. Edit: I am trying taking both batches of 2 before noon. So far,so good.
