* Studies show that consuming milk with plant sterols every day, like HeartActive, can reduce LDL cholesterol after a minimum of three weeks. The highest study reported an average reduction of greater than 10%, and the overall reduction across these studies was 8.53%.

Results may vary depending on personal circumstances.
- For best results, enjoy 2g of plant sterols daily (2-3 serves of Heart Active® milk), as part of a healthy diet, low in saturated fat.
- More than 3 serves a day provides no additional health benefits.
- For children under the age of five, pregnant or lactating women and people taking cholesterol-lowering medication, doctor's advice should be sought before using Heart Active, due to their special dietary needs.
