Plant sterols/ stanols and cholesterol

HEART UK and Flora ProActiv 

We are delighted to announce, that having gone through HEART UK's strict due diligence process, Flora ProActiv spreads and drinks have been awarded the stamp of approval from HEART UK. 

Flora ProActiv has been helping people to live well and age well for more than 20 years. Over 50 clinical studies have proven that the plant sterols in Flora ProActiv significantly lower cholesterol. 

Flora ProActiv spreads and drinks contain plant sterols which are natural substances that have powerful cholesterol reducing properties. Consuming 1.5g to 2.4g of plant sterols per day can lower cholesterol by 7-10% in 2-3 weeks*. 

Their range of plant-based spreads, milk and mini drinks have been designed as simple, healthy swaps. Switching from butter, regular spreads, or milk to 3 portions of Flora ProActiv spread or milk or 1 Flora ProActiv mini drink will provide the recommended intake of plant sterols to help reduce cholesterol. 


*Flora ProActiv contains plant sterols. Plant sterols have been shown to lower blood cholesterol. High cholesterol is a risk factor in the development of coronary heart disease. Consuming 1.5-2.4g of plant sterols per day can lower cholesterol by 7-10% in 2-3 weeks when consumed as part of a healthy diet and lifestyle with sufficient fruit and vegetables.
