2g of plant stanols in just two cups of MAGNOLIA Cholest Care daily
Singapore, 17 July 2025 – Singaporeans love their food, and many of the popular dishes are so flavourful due to the high fat content and ingredients that may contribute to elevated cholesterol levels. High blood cholesterol causes heart disease when cholesterol starts building up in the coronary arteries of the heart. According to the Singapore Heart Foundation, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death globally1. In Singapore, it accounted for 30.9% of all deaths in 2023 – which means that almost one in three deaths in Singapore is due to heart diseases or stroke.1
By consuming just 2 to 3 grams of plant stanols a day can help manage cholesterol levels by reducing its absorption in the intestines, leading to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol by 7.5-12%, according to the National Lipid Association and the British Dietetic Association2,3. While plant stanols are found naturally in grains, fruits, and veggies, they occur only in trace amounts. For instance, consume 250kg of tomatoes or nearly 2,000 tomatoes a day to achieve the recommended intake of 2 grams of plant stanols.
MAGNOLIA Cholest Care is the only milk in Singapore that delivers 2 grams of plant stanols from Benecol®, a globally well-known cholesterol-lowering functional food brand owned by the Raisio Group of Finland, in just two cups. Benecol® products with added plant stanols have a history of safe use since 1995. This is backed by over 80 clinical studies, conducted over 12 months and 18 months durations, that studied the long-term effects of plant stanol esters.
By incorporating two cups of MAGNOLIA Cholest Care to a daily routine, individuals can take a simple, delicious step toward lowering blood cholesterol and supporting heart health.
