Product Description

Heart Smart Olive Oil is a phytosterol enriched organic extra virgin olive oil. Its rich nutty flavour tastes great by the spoonful and it is excellent for use in vinaigrettes and marinades.

Researchers at the Mayo Clinic reported that the consumption of 2 grams of phytosterols daily reduces levels of low density lipoprotein (bad cholesterol) by 15%. The researchers recommended phytosterol consumption as an alternative to doubling dosage of statins (pharmaceuticals) in cases of hypercholesteremia. Each tablespoon of Heart Smart Olive Oil contains 975 mg of phytosterols.

Mediterranean countries have a lower incidence of coronary heart disease when compared to North America. It’s believed that the consumption of monounsaturated fats from plant oils as opposed to the saturated fats prevalent in the North American diet is responsible for this anomaly.

Studies have shown that consumption of extra virgin olive oil inhibits oxidation of LDL cholesterol and subsequent plaque formation on arterial walls. Plant derived phytosterols lower the intake of dietary cholesterol by actively competing for absorption sites at the intestinal level.
