How much Plant Stanol Ester should I consume per day for cholesterol lowering?
To lower your cholesterol you should use at least 2 servings of any BENECOL® Spread (1.7 grams of Plant Stanol Esters) per day with your meals and snacks. For best results. Consuming 4 servings of BENECOL® Light or Regular Spreads daily will provide the 3.4 grams of Plant Stanol Esters (2.0 grams Plant Stanols) per day recommended by the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP). However, if you use more than 2 servings of BENECOL® Spread per day, we suggest you use BENECOL® Light Spread to limit the overall fat intake from the spreads. BENECOL® Regular Spread should continue to be used for cooking and baking.
