What We Like

EFSA-approved health claim for cholesterol reduction
200 capsules — long-lasting supply
Simple ingredient list with no additives
Convenient for on-the-go (vs. powder)

What We’re Missing

3 capsules = 1.5 g — therapeutic doses (5–10 g) require powder
Capsules must be taken with plenty of water (swelling risk)
Loose powder is significantly cheaper per gram

Usage Recommendation

3 capsules 1–3× daily with at least 250 ml water. Always stay well hydrated! For trouble swallowing: prefer powder.
