Helping people live more of life for over 30 years

Over the last three decades, Benecol has been supporting people in managing their cholesterol as part of a healthy lifestyle. With active plant stanols proven to lower cholesterol, Benecol offers a simple and effective way to take care of your heart health without disrupting your daily routine.

Where it all started

It started with Finnish scientist Ingmar Wester and a simple idea: plant stanols could help lower cholesterol. After years of research, he developed plant stanol ester, bringing this unique ingredient into everyday foods without compromising on the taste we love.

Our contribution to healthcare

Science guides every step we take. With more than 80 clinical studies behind Benecol, we continue to build understanding of plant stanols and their role in cholesterol management.
