A clinically-proven statin alternative.
For patients who can’t or don’t want to rely solely on medications to lower their cholesterol, Step One Foods offers a food-based solution clinically proven to meaningfully reduce LDL-C in 30 days.
Our products are developed specifically for patients who are:
- Ineligible for cholesterol-lowering medications
- Averse to taking statins due to side effects or personal preference
- At maximum statin dose with incomplete LDL-C control
- Unable to maintain dietary or lifestyle changes
Every serving contains the precise amounts of whole food fiber, plant sterols, antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids documented to help lower cholesterol and improve cardiovascular health, all from real whole-food ingredients.
Step One Foods have been subjected to a randomized, case controlled, cross-over clinical trial in a free-living population of statin intolerant individuals. On average, subjects experienced an 8.8% LDL-C reduction in 30 days, with 1/3rd of patients noting LDL-C reductions at or above 15%.
A range of cardiovascular benefits
Modifying diet is the most impactful health change a patient can make. Dietary change influences six of the seven modifiable risk factors for cardio-metabolic disease:
- Lipid profile optimization
- Improved hypertensive control
- Reduced inflammation
- Improved vascular function
- Improved glycemic control
- Weight reduction
A cost-effective solution
Actuarial analysis reveals that every $1 spent on Step One Foods would result in $2.32 in health care savings.
