If you were among the fortunate attendees of Vitafoods this year and had the opportunity to watch the Kensing presentation with Dr. Susan J. Hewlings, you were in for a treat. The session, titled “Company Case Study | Unlocking heart health with phytosterols: Plant-based supplementation for LDL-cholesterol control,” delved deep into the science behind phytosterols and natural vitamin E. Phytosterols and natural vitamin E also align with the growing consumer preference for plant-based, sustainable, and environmentally friendly ingredients.

Countless scientific studies have proven the significant role of phytosterols (plant sterols) in reducing LDL cholesterol levels and promoting overall cardiovascular health. Emerging research suggests that phytosterols may also offer additional health advantages, such as antioxidant properties and mood-enhancing effects. This topic is of utmost importance as most individuals are currently not getting enough phytosterols in their diets.

Dr. Hewlings is the VP of Research Affairs and Co-founder of Substantiation Sciences and has a PhD in nutrition sciences from Florida State University. She is a well-known and well-respected expert in this field, as shown by her many white papers and peer-reviewed publications on human nutrition. While anyone interested in supporting heart health will find her talk educational and illuminating, the talk was geared especially for those who formulate or upgrade formulas for cardiovascular health, healthy aging, mood, or women’s health.

Fortunately, for those who missed her presentation, it is now available online.
