New Roots Herbal Heart Smart Organic Safflower Oil 500mL
New Roots Herbal Heart Smart Organic Safflower Oil
Heart Smart Safflower Oil blends the unique beneficial fatty acids of safflower oil with the cholesterol-lowering benefits of 375 mg of plant sterols per tablespoon.
Research has proven that 2 g of plant sterols per day can reduce harmful (LDL) cholesterol up to 20%. Their side effect–free action is simple: they block intestinal absorption of harmful LDL cholesterol.* Nonvegetarians consume approximately 300 mg of plant sterols per day, while vegetarians hover around 600 mg daily. This is much less than the recommended 2 g per day, which is confirmed by Dr. Peter Jones, an international pioneer in lipid nutrition and functional foods, who states: “Even though plant sterols can be and are eaten as part of a healthy diet, it’s challenging for Canadians to consume enough plant sterols to lower their cholesterol.”
Heart Smart Safflower Oil’s clean, subtle flavour and high smoke point is great for high-temperature stir-fries, but also vinaigrettes and smoothies, or it can simply be taken by the spoonful.
Directions of Use:
