Analysis

Vibrant Health's Cholesterol Blocker distinguishes itself by its focus on Soy Phytosterol extract (553mg), a well-researched ingredient known to reduce LDL cholesterol by competing with cholesterol for absorption in the gut. It also includes 10mg of Policosanol, specified as Octacosanol, which is a major constituent of Policosanol but does not significantly enhance the product's overall efficacy given the general consensus on Policosanol. The vanilla flavor suggests it might be a chewable or dissolvable tablet, which can be convenient. At $0.36 per serving, it offers a good balance of cost and a proven active ingredient (Phytosterols) for cholesterol support. The relatively low review count of 27 indicates it may be less widely known or used.

Pros
  • Contains an effective dose of Plant Sterols for cholesterol reduction
  • Reasonable price per serving
Cons
  • Policosanol's effectiveness is limited
  • Low review count
  • Specific vanilla flavor might not appeal to all

Policosanol 65.0
Its value in the Policosanol collection is significantly boosted by the inclusion of effective Plant Sterols, making it a better option for actual cholesterol management than pure Policosanol products, at a reasonable price.
Goals
Heart Health, Cardiovascular Support 70.0
The substantial inclusion of Plant Sterols provides a scientifically supported mechanism for cholesterol reduction, making this product a more credible option for heart health goals compared to products relying solely on Policosanol, despite the latter's inclusion.
