Our story
A few years later, in 2000, we used our scientific expertise to create ProActiv, a spread with plant sterols – clinically proven to lower cholesterol. We focus on real results and over 50 clinical studies have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of plant sterols in ProActiv’s cholesterol-lowering products. We also focus on promoting the healthy side of life, since it takes positive lifestyle changes to make a lasting difference.

A bit more on plant sterols
Plant sterols naturally occur in small quantities in vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, grains, fruit, and vegetables. You can also find them (in greater concentrations) in ProActiv’s products, like our spread with plant sterols, which include these helpful substances. In more than 50 clinical studies, plant sterols have been proven to significantly lower cholesterol*.
How to eat plant sterols
Plant sterols occur naturally in plant-based foods, but only in small amounts. The simplest way to eat enough plant sterols in food to help reduce cholesterol, is to enjoy products to which they have been added: ProActiv’s cholesterol-lowering products contain the daily amount of plant sterols to achieve this*.
How does ProActiv work?
ProActiv contains plant sterols, and they work by reducing the amount of cholesterol absorbed by your gut. This in turn reduces the amount in your bloodstream, resulting in lower levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol. Over 50 clinical studies have proven that plant sterols, such as those in ProActiv products, actively lower cholesterol. Plant sterols are clinically proven to lower cholesterol by 7 to 10% in just two to three weeks*.
