Scientific studies have shown that phytosterols reduce the uptake of cholesterol and have a positive influence on blood serum cholesterol levels.

To obtain the effect on blood serum cholesterol levels, the daily intake of phytosterols should be between 1 and 3 g. In several countries within the EU, foods containing phytosterols can make health claims stating the product’s cholesterol lowering benefits.

FSL and AAK have developed VIVIDOL® which is a healthy and novel speciality non-trans and non-hydrogenated fat blend solution which contains sterol esters and various beneficial phytosterols. These nutrients made from pine sterols and rapeseed oil are clinically proven to reduce blood cholesterol levels.

The advantages and benefits of VIVIDOL® are easy to deliver to consumers by simply adding it to everyday products which enable them to significantly reduce their uptake of cholesterol.
