Flora Original was created, at the request of the medical profession, as a healthy alternative to butter, lard, and hard margarines. It is made from good oils, (sunflower & canola) and provides essential omega 3 & 6 fats which help take care of the heart and circulatory system.
Much lower in saturated fats than butter and virtually free of trans fats, Flora is a great tasting spread that, as part of a healthy diet, can help keep the heart happy!
Flora pro-activ spread is enriched with plant sterols which have been clinically proven to lower cholesterol absorption. Research shows that about 25g of Flora pro-activ spread, equivalent to usage on four slices of bread, should be used each day to gain the maximum benefit. Most people start seeing results in as little as three weeks.
On average, studies show consumption of 25g of plant sterol-enriched spreads a day decreases LDL cholesterol absorption by 10%.
