Sterols Plus Hx®
Plant Sterols are a natural component of many healthy foods, including vegetable oils, nuts and seeds. However, it is difficult to obtain an adequate supply of these plant-based nutrients from food sources. In the body, plant sterols look just like cholesterol but they have the opposite impact. An adequate supply of Sterols in the digestive tract has been shown to combat bad cholesterol and help maintain healthy cholesterol levels.†
Important Components of Sterols Plus Hx®
Phytosterol Esters are plant fats that help support and maintain healthy cardiovascular and circulatory system function and provide support for healthy cholesterol levels. Oat Beta Glucans are a fiber from oat bran that have the ability to bind to cholesterol that is present in foods we consume, thereby escorting some cholesterol out of the body before it can be absorbed. Red Yeast Rice is a natural substance extracted from rice that supports healthy cholesterol levels. The Proanthocyanidins in Cranberry Fruit Extract may help support circulatory health.†
Supplements containing at least 650mg per serving of Plant Sterol Esters, taken twice a day with meals for a daily total intake of at least 1.3 grams, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.†

PODCAST EPISODE: Studies Show Sterols Can Help Lower Cholesterol Levels
The Science Behind Sterols
Research from the International Journal of Molecular Medicine states that Beta Glucans from oat bran are linear unbranched polysaccharides found in various natural sources. Due to their structure they are able to interact with immune system receptors, however they also act as dietary fibers in the digestive tract. As there are two forms of ß-glucans, insoluble and soluble forms, they are able to interact with lipids and biliary salts in the bowel and to support cholesterol levels thereby supporting heart health. [1]
Research published in the Methodist Debakey cardiovascular Journal states that consumption of Red Yeast Rice Extract helps to support heart health and maintain healthy cholesterol levels already within normal range. [2]
Research from Advances in Nutrition states that consuming cranberries helps to protect the heart and improve biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress. There is encouraging evidence of a cardio-protective effect of cranberries mediated via actions on antioxidant capacity and lipoprotein profiles. [3]

“First Cholesterol Blood Test , total cholesterol 280, HDL 50, LDL 210. Began taking daily sterols plus for 85 days. Second cholesterol blood test, Total Cholesterol: 253, HDL 56, LDL:174.”
Dr.Robert, Jr.
“I was referred to Invite Health, a little less than a year ago by a colleague that uses your products. After many years of starting and stopping on different Rx cholesterol statins, I couldn’t handle the side effects anymore, mainly unbearable leg cramps. Since taking the Sterols plus and the Ubiquinol daily, I have lowered my cholesterol by more than 100pts. My physician even said ‘wow, I’ve never seen that before’. The side effect with the Invite products are non-existent and I will continue using them daily.”
Mark
“On April 1st, I bought your Sterols Plus Hx product and began taking it that evening. I had my blood work done again 2 days ago and it appears that I have made real progress. The overall cholesterol number came down from 227 in February to 195 this week, and the LDL number came down from 128 in February and is now 89. My HDL is 89 and Vitamin D level was 52, which I’m also happy about. Thank you! “
Louise C
“My doctor wanted to put me on Lipitor, but I wanted to try the natural route first. My cholesterol went from 249 to 194 in just 3 months. Thanks so much! My doctor was amazed! Impressed!”
Diane
“I was diagnosed with Diabetes & High cholesterol. And really didn’t want to be put on any statin drugs. I was reading up on red yeast rice. I went to Invite Health and was directed to the Sterols Plus Hx. I started taking it and in under 3 months, it dropped 48 points to 198 from 246. So the doctor was very pleased and I continue to take it. “
Olga
“My total cholesterol used to be 270. My doctor wanted to put me on Crestor. Instead I tried the natural route & now my total cholesterol is in the 140s.”

Nancy
“I had high blood pressure, high cholesterol and high blood sugar. I was taking about 10 different prescriptions. I was tired. Had joint aches and pains, felt horrible, had no energy which left me feeling worse. Since I begin taking Invite Supplements, my blood pressure is now 120/80, my blood sugar which used to be above 180, is now lower than 120. My cholesterol is normal, I can now walk around the track 3 times without pain. My aches and pains are gone and I really feel great.“

“Cholesterol was 220mg/dl & he took policosanol at first, it went down to 210, & doctor said throw away the nutraceuticals & start the medication. Instead, spoke to Jerry Hickey, who suggested to take the entire cholesterol package. Labs 4 months later show to be 159mg, another success story.”
Louis
“My doctor really fought me the whole way on this. I wanted to try it my way, Policosanol plus sterols plus, plenty of exercise, good diet. I avoided him for a year. After testing all he said was, “Well you don’t have a cholesterol problem anymore.” Thanks for representing alternative and safer ways to handle health problems.“
