The National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) Guidelines recommend 2 grams of plant stanols (3.4 grams of plant stanol esters) as part of a daily diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol to help reduce the risk of heart disease. This amount can be obtained by enjoying 4 servings of BENECOL® Spread. If you recommend more than 2 servings of BENECOL® Spread per day, we suggest your patients use BENECOL® Light Spread.

The recommended amount of fiber is 25 to 30 grams per day. Check for fiber on food labels to help reach this number. Some examples of high fiber foods are fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains. Fiber is not completely digested and absorbed in the intestinal system, and it is unavailable as blood sugar. Therefore, a high-fiber meal does not provide as much available carbohydrates as a similar-content low fiber meal. See similar questions...

National Institute of Nutrition (NIN) recommends 600-950 micrograms (μg) of Vitamin A (Retinol) for adults per day - 600 μg for males and pregnant as well as non-pregnant females, and 950 μg during lactation. Thus, mother's intake of VA should be higher during breastfeeding as breast milk is the source of Vitamin A for the baby. Infants require 350 μg and children in the age group of 1-3 years require 400 mg of Vitamin A per day. See similar questions...

The recommended one teaspoon of sole solution per day is a general guideline for adults which can be adjusted a bit according to ones own feeling. It’s not a question of “more is better,” but rather the intake of the frequency pattern of the sole that is important. One drop of the sole would be sufficient. With the teaspoon, you will also cover all the necessary minerals and trace elements. For children, a few drops are sufficient. See similar questions...

Once the posterior pituitary is damaged or destroyed, it will never recover. It will always be necessary to take dDAVP or some other antidiuretic drug to control urine output. Damage to one of the hormones from the anterior pituitary sometimes recovers after a while, but it depends on how severe the damage is. Taking replacement hormones will not cause other diseases, provided the doses are correct. See similar questions...
