Plant Sterols Complex 500mg — quick summary
Vitality Supplements Plant Sterols Complex provides 500mg of plant sterols from sunflower per serving of 2 capsules, of which beta-sitosterol 250mg, stigmasterol 75mg and campesterol 25mg are stated individually. Plant sterols, also called phytosterols, are naturally occurring compounds found in plants and are structurally similar to cholesterol. An authorised GB and EU health claim exists for plant sterols, but its conditions of use require a daily intake of at least 0.8g; this product provides 500mg per serving, below that threshold, so no health claim is made and no cholesterol, heart or cardiovascular claim of any kind appears on this page. Each pouch contains 60 vegan capsules, a 30-day supply at two capsules daily. Other ingredients: vegetable magnesium stearate, calcium carbonate, vegetable cellulose, and a vegetable capsule shell of hypromellose and purified water. Free from gluten, GMOs, dairy and artificial colours. Sunflower-derived rather than soy-derived. Every batch is third-party tested at an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory and manufactured in the United Kingdom. Sold with a 60-day money-back guarantee. As a food supplement, adults take 2 capsules daily with water, preferably with food; do not exceed the recommended daily dose. If pregnant, breastfeeding or on medication, consult a doctor before use. This product makes no medicinal or disease claims and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

The breakdown,
not just the total.
Most plant sterol products give you one number and stop. Ours states 500mg total, of which beta-sitosterol 250mg, stigmasterol 75mg and campesterol 25mg — the three principal sterols, each with its own figure, so you can see the composition rather than trust a headline.
We also make no health claims. There is an authorised GB/EU claim for plant sterols, but it requires at least 0.8g a day — and this is a 500mg serving. Rather than gesture vaguely at the claim we can’t make, we’ll tell you the threshold outright and let you decide.

Every ingredient — the complete breakdown.
One sterol complex, fully dosed, with the composition declared sterol by sterol.
One complex, three sterols, all declared
The formula is a plant sterol complex derived from sunflower, at 500mg per serving of two capsules. The three principal sterols — beta-sitosterol at 250mg, stigmasterol at 75mg and campesterol at 25mg — are declared individually on the supplement-facts panel, with the balance made up of other minor sterols naturally present in the source material. There is no proprietary blend.
This is a food supplement. An authorised GB/EU health claim exists for plant sterols but requires a daily intake of at least 0.8g, so at this serving size we make no claim — no cholesterol, heart or cardiovascular claim of any kind. We state the source, the composition and the testing. It sits alongside our Citrus Bergamot in the same series.

Frequently asked questions.
What are plant sterols?
+Plant sterols, also called phytosterols, are naturally occurring compounds found in plants. They are structurally similar to cholesterol. Our supplement provides 500mg per serving from sunflower, of which beta-sitosterol 250mg, stigmasterol 75mg and campesterol 25mg are stated individually. This is a factual description; we make no health claims about them.
Does this product make any health claims?
+No. There is an authorised GB/EU health claim for plant sterols, but its conditions of use require a daily intake of at least 0.8g. This product provides 500mg per serving, which is below that threshold, so we do not make the claim — and we make no cholesterol, heart or cardiovascular claim of any kind. We would rather state the threshold plainly than imply something the dose does not support.
Why sunflower rather than soy?
+Most plant sterol supplements use soy as the source. Ours is sunflower-derived, which means the product is suitable for people avoiding soy. That is a sourcing statement, not a claim of superior effect.
Why are three sterols named when the total is 500mg?
+The 500mg is the total plant sterol content. Beta-sitosterol at 250mg, stigmasterol at 75mg and campesterol at 25mg are the three principal sterols and are declared individually; the balance is made up of other minor sterols naturally present in the sunflower source. We name and quantify what we can rather than hiding the whole thing behind one number.
How do I take it?
+As a food supplement, adults take 2 capsules daily with water, preferably with food, or as directed by a healthcare professional. Do not exceed the stated recommended daily dose.
How much is in each serving?
+500mg of plant sterols from sunflower per serving of 2 capsules, of which beta-sitosterol 250mg, stigmasterol 75mg and campesterol 25mg — with 30 servings per 60-capsule pouch. All amounts are on the supplement-facts panel.
Is it third-party tested?
+Yes. Every batch is tested at an independent ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory before release, confirming identity, content and contaminant safety. A Certificate of Analysis is available on request — email us with your batch number.
Is it vegan and free from common allergens?
+The capsule shell is vegetable-based (hypromellose and purified water) and the other ingredients are vegetable magnesium stearate, calcium carbonate and vegetable cellulose. The product is free from gluten, GMOs, dairy and artificial colours, and is sunflower-derived rather than soy-derived.
Should anyone avoid this product?
+Food supplements are for healthy adults and must not replace a varied, balanced diet. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking any medication, or managing a diagnosed condition, speak to your doctor before taking a plant sterol supplement. It is not intended for children.
How should it be stored?
+Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight, with the pouch resealed. Do not use if the seal is broken.
Any cautions?
+Food supplements must not replace a varied, balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. If pregnant, breastfeeding or on medication, consult a doctor before use. Keep out of reach of children. Discontinue use and consult a doctor if adverse reactions occur.
Is it made in the UK?
+Yes. It is manufactured in the United Kingdom, and every batch is third-party tested.
