As diabetics can suffer from high blood cholesterol, FLORA PRO-ACTIV spread is particularly useful in helping to lower cholesterol absorption. This will not interfere with the individual's insulin requirements (always consult a doctor).

No. FLORA PRO-ACTIV spread has no effect on the level of beneficial HDL cholesterol in the blood.

To obtain the maximum benefit of FLORA PRO-ACTIV spread, research shows that on average 25g (1 tablespoon) a day should be consumed. This is equivalent to spreading FLORA PRO-ACTIV on 3-4 slices of bread a day. Use of plant sterols is only one way of managing cholesterol. Check with your doctor for more advice. If you eat less than 25g per day FLORA PRO-ACTIV spread will still reduce cholesterol absorption, though the effect will not be as great.

FLORA PRO-ACTIV spread is vegetarian. However the product contains milk solids (skim milk powder). FLORA PRO-ACTIV Light spread is not vegetarian. The Light variant contains gelatine, which is from animal origin.

FLORA PRO-ACTIV is a spread enriched with natural plant sterols. The plant sterols in FLORA PRO-ACTIV spread actively reduce cholesterol absorption. A low level of cholesterol in the bloodstream is an important factor in helping to maintain a healthy heart.
