Benecol

Benecol is a food product line marketed by McNeil Nutritionals intended to reduce dietary cholesterol. The active ingredients in Benecol products are plant stanol esters, added to base products including margarine-like spreads and yoghurt. Because of regulatory issues, different products are available in different countries; for example, in the United States, only the spreads, and in Turkey, Kalbim Benecol margarine are available. Benecol was first marketed in Finland in 1995.
