Is the cholesterol lowering effect of Benecol products sustained over long periods of time?
The long-term cholesterol lowering effect of the plant stanol ester has been verified in well controlled clinical trials, the longest ones being 12 and 18 months long. Furthermore, Benecol products have been on the market for more than 14 years and follow-up of individuals who have been using Benecol products clearly shows the long term cholesterol-lowering effect.
