Review
Summary |
 One-A-Day® Cholesterol Plus is a tablet-based supplement advertised as a premium formula for promoting overall health and regulating cholesterol levels. The company says the product may assist in maintaining “healthy cholesterol and blood pressure levels already within the normal range.” The formula may consist of various naturally derived ingredients.
Those concerned about their LDL cholesterol levels may benefit from making certain lifestyle changes, including dietary adjustments and some exercise. However, they may not necessarily have to resort to prescription drugs, which may induce side effects. We will get a closer look at the supplement in question to find out what its pros and cons may be.

| Ingredients at a Glance |
|
According to the product’s official Website, the supplement may contain Phytosterols, or Plant Sterols, which are believed to be promising for overall health and nutritional support – especially for cholesterol reduction. Some published reports suggest that individuals may experience reductions of up to 40 percent, depending on the particular product’s potency.
Plant Sterols may also be notable for having undergone multiple clinical studies that have shown desirable results, without causing any side effects or adverse reactions. This may be important to keep in mind for men and women taking prescription drugs that may be doing as much harm as any good. All-natural alternatives in general may be more sensible for those who fear the health risks.

| Ingredients in Focus |
|
The product’s supplement facts panel suggests that the formula may also be comprised of some of the following vitamins and minerals: Vitamins A, C, D, E, B1, B2 and B12, Niacin, Folic Acid, Biotin, Pantothenic Acid, Calcium, Iodine, Magnesium, Zinc, Selenium, Copper, Manganese, Chromium, Molybdenum, Potassium and Boron, of which there may be 150 mcg per serving.
The purported benefits of this multivitamin and multimineral may include “healthy cholesterol levels,” the ability to maintain healthy blood pressure and heart health support. Many men and women with high cholesterol levels may be suffering from poor nutrition, so such a supplement may conceivably have its benefits. Strictly for cholesterol reduction, however, there may be more potent alternatives.

| Lifestyle |
|
While Plant Sterol-based supplements may play a role in promoting overall health and offering regulatory support for cholesterol levels, we are disappointed that the product in question does not appear to contain ample amounts of this exciting natural ingredient. We are led to believe that the product may function more as a general nutritional supplement than a cholesterol-reducing agent.
Men and women who do not like to make risky purchases may choose to seek out products that are backed by 100 percent product guarantees. Select companies are known to offer full refunds to anyone who is not completely satisfied, with some of the more reputable companies offering up to 60 days for men and women to test out the product.

| Positives |
|
• May contain various vitamins and minerals
• May be purchased locally or through online retailers
|
| Negatives |
|
• May not contain the high-quality Plant Sterols seen in other products
• Discounts on volume purchases may not be available at this time
• We would like to see some more consumer testimonials online
• Money-back offers may not be available at time of review
|
| Final Thoughts |
|
One-A-Day® Cholesterol Plus may be advertised as a high-quality cholesterol-reducing supplement, but we are not confident that it is among the leading items in its class at time of review. While some people may be attracted to its high vitamin and mineral content, those seeking primarily cholesterol regulatory support may be disappointed by the formula’s rather unremarkable Plant Sterol levels.
Some of the more reputable alternatives for cholesterol reduction are known to be held in high esteem by industry peers, with select formulas even having appeared in prestigious medical journals and research articles. In addition to being backed by numerous clinical trials, some Plant Sterol-based supplements are even known to be supported by many consumer success stories.
