How is Flora pro-activ different from cholesterol lowering drugs?
Cholesterol lowering foods, such as Flora pro-activ enriched with plant sterols, play a different role in cholesterol management to drugs. For people with very high cholesterol, drug treatment is usually necessary and will be prescribed by a doctor. For people with borderline or slightly elevated cholesterol levels (at or above 5 mmol/l) dietary management of cholesterol is ideal. As part of a healthy balanced diet, Flora pro-activ that can substantially reduce cholesterol is important as it makes it easier to stick to the diet and achieve and maintain a significant health benefit. Flora pro-activ is an everyday tasty food, which unlike many medications, which are prescription only, can be used by all.
