FAQs
1. What is Zerochol Plant Sterols used for?
Zerochol Plant Sterols is designed for adults who wish to lower or reduce their blood cholesterol. Each daily serving provides 1.6g of plant sterols, which have an authorised EFSA health claim for lowering blood cholesterol. High cholesterol is recognised as a risk factor in the development of coronary heart disease, making cholesterol management an important part of cardiovascular health.
2. How do plant sterols lower cholesterol?
Plant sterols are structurally similar to cholesterol and compete with it for absorption in the intestine. This means less dietary cholesterol is absorbed into the bloodstream, helping to reduce blood LDL cholesterol when consumed regularly in sufficient amounts alongside a healthy diet.
3. How much Zerochol should I take each day?
The recommended intake is 2 tablets daily, preferably with meals. This provides 1,600mg (1.6g) of plant sterols, which falls within the daily intake shown to help lower blood cholesterol.
4. How long does it take for plant sterols to work?
Studies supporting the authorised EFSA health claim show that consuming 1.5–3g of plant sterols daily may reduce LDL cholesterol within approximately 2 to 3 weeks, provided they are taken consistently as part of a healthy diet.
5. Can I take Zerochol with statins?
Yes, but only under the supervision of your GP or healthcare professional. Plant sterols may be used alongside cholesterol-lowering medicines in some people, but your treatment plan should always be reviewed by your doctor.
6. Is Zerochol suitable if my cholesterol is already normal?
No. This product is intended specifically for people who wish to lower their blood cholesterol. It is not recommended for individuals who do not need to control their cholesterol levels.
7. Should I continue following a healthy diet?
Yes. Plant sterols work best alongside a healthy, balanced diet that is low in saturated fat and includes plenty of fruit, vegetables, wholegrains and regular physical activity.
8. Does Zerochol replace cholesterol medication?
No. Zerochol is a food supplement and should not replace prescribed cholesterol-lowering medication unless your doctor specifically advises you to do so.
9. Does Zerochol contain allergens?
Yes. The plant sterols are derived partly from soy, so the product contains soy and should be avoided by anyone with a soy allergy.
10. Can I take more than the recommended amount?
No. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake unless specifically advised by your healthcare professional. Higher intakes are not necessarily associated with greater benefit.
11. Is Zerochol suitable for long-term use?
Yes. Zerochol may be used as part of a long-term cholesterol management strategy alongside healthy eating, exercise and regular cholesterol monitoring by your healthcare professional.
12. Why buy Zerochol Plant Sterols from Lir Pharmacy?

13. What are plant sterols?
Taking plant sterols daily should be your first step in lowering LDL “bad” cholesterol. Plant sterols are naturally occurring substances found in plants. They work by blocking the absorption of cholesterol in the small intestine, which contributes to a significant decrease in the blood LDL “bad” cholesterol level. New research confirms that 1.6 g (2 tablets) Zerochol plant sterols can lower cholesterol by 17% in 3 months, without any side effects.
14. What allergens are present?
Contains soy oil. No soy protein present. Zerochol is free from all other allergens.
