Sterochol is a three-mechanism natural cardiovascular formula — plant sterols, BSH-active L. plantarum, ashwagandha — with 11 Health Canada approved claims and published data showing statistically significant LDL reductions (p<0.0001). Use it as a supportive therapy to statins, or a standalone for hypercholesterolemia.
◆ 01 — THE GAP
Statins lower LDL. They also lose 50% of patients within a year to intolerance, skepticism, or side effects.
Profile A
The statin-reluctant patient
Borderline LDL, family history, wants to act before prescription. Looking for an evidence-backed protocol to defer pharmaceutical therapy.
→ Sterochol as primary.
Profile B
The stable statin user
On statin, LDL at target — but HDL suppressed or lifestyle factors under-managed. Wants additive, non-interacting support.
→ Sterochol as an adjunct to Statins.
Profile C
The side-effect rotator
Myalgia, fatigue, GI issues on statin. Persistent intolerances occur despite statin switching.
→ Sterochol substitute.
◆ 02 — MECHANISM
Three pathways,
one capsule a day.
Most cholesterol supplements work one lever. Sterochol works three, synchronised — intestinal absorption, enterohepatic bile recycling, and the cortisol-lipid axis.
◆ 03 — FORMULATION
No red yeast rice. No statin overlap. Just three ingredients that actually do something.
02 · 1.2B CFU
L. plantarum
Deconjugated bile acids are poorly reabsorbed, forcing the liver to synthesize new ones from cholesterol — pulling more cholesterol from the bloodstream and lowering circulating levels.

Ashwagandha
Adaptogen. Reduces cortisol, addressing the stress-driven lipid pathway that diet alone rarely targets.

◆ 05 — EVIDENCE BASE
The proof.
01
L. plantarum WCE RCT
Statistically significant reduction in total cholesterol, LDL, and triglycerides vs. baseline. Sterochol + statin: additional benefit (p<0.01) attributable to probiotic combination.
p<0.0001
02
Fuentes et al. 2013
First documented reduction of oxidized LDL by these specific L. plantarum strains. ox-LDL is a key driver of atherosclerosis (Parthasarathy 2010).

03
Atherosclerosis 2016;248:76–83
Regular plant sterol intake significantly reduces LDL cholesterol. Part of 200+ trial body of evidence.
Meta-analysis
04
PubMed 20439548
Plant sterols combined with statin therapy produce greater LDL reduction than statins alone. Direct evidence for adjunct protocol.
Sterols + statin
05
Nutraceutical Res. 2013;11(14):151–158
Contributes to reductions in LDL and triglycerides while lowering cortisol. Stress-cardiovascular link via a separate pathway. Effects a reduction in cardio metabolic risk.
Ashwagandha
1% = 2–3%
Epidemiological leverage. For every 1% reduction in serum cholesterol, an estimated 2–3% reduction in coronary artery disease risk. Small lipid improvements translate into meaningful absolute risk reduction — the counseling anchor that moves patients to action.

◆ 07 — CLINICAL FAQ
Short answers for busy practices.
No. Sterochol does not contain red yeast rice or any monacolin K — the compound that creates statin-overlap concerns. Published research shows plant sterols + statin therapy produce greater LDL reduction than statins alone (PubMed 20439548).
One enteric-coated capsule daily, taken after the last meal. GI/bloating benefits are typically reported within 1–3 days; lipid changes require 2–3 months of consistent use before recheck.
Yes. The specific L. plantarum strains were selected through screening for survival in acid and bile conditions, and demonstrate adherence to intestinal epithelial cells. Whole-cell extraction confirmed bile salt hydrolase activity.
Not recommended for immune-compromised patients (e.g. AIDS, lymphoma, long-term corticosteroid therapy). Consult prior to use in pregnancy, breastfeeding, or with active medical conditions. Ashwagandha may cause drowsiness in sensitive individuals.
