Customer Reviews of Benecol Smart Chews, Caramel, 120-Count Soft Chews
Customer Review: Benecol Benefit
Summary: 5 Stars
My experiment was a success!
I ate like a pig and took two Benecol chews a day and ate oatmeal intermittently. Unlike my experiment with Colest Off I made no attempt to be a vegetarian. The results were still promising and show that the Benecol Chews are a potent force in lowering Total Cholesterol.
My Total Cholesterol with no supplements and no diet change is a scary 287, with Colest Off and a partial vegetarian diet my total cholesterol is about 197 with a good ratio of HDL to LDL. The Benecol Chews reduced my total to an unimpressive 237, but considering that I ate high cholesterol foods this shows the potency of plant STANOLs.CholestOff 240 cplts
Customer Review: Effective at lowering cholesterol
Summary: 5 Stars
Buy this product. Tell your friends about it. Unfortunately J&J doesn't have a clue of how to market this great product, don't let it slip out of production. I am in club Benecol and haven't received anything. Spread the word, a safer way to lower your cholesterol. Word of mouth is about it, lets hope it works.
Don't expect miracles with Benecol, but if you are borderline, this is a great supplement in addition to diet and exercise. Take at least 2 per day. Expect ~10% lower total cholesterol in a month or two, some have reported more. Could be enough to keep you off the risky statins. However, some report using Benecol and Statins, but I can't vouch for the results. It would be good to hear reports of that combo.
Customer Review: Something is working!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using Benecol chews for several months now. I am one of those who absolutely cannot take statins to lower my cholesterol. The statins will lower my cholesterol...but they cause a lot of other problems. I do not know if the Benecol alone would lower my cholesterol because I am on Niaspan also, but my total cholesterol is down, my HDL is up, my LDL is down as well as my triglycerides. The number and size of my LDL particles has also decreased greatly. Research has now determined the more particles you have, the more likely they are to stick together and therefore cause blockages. Give Benecol a try. I will continue to use them. I also use Benecol spread that can be found at most grocery stores. Good luck!Customer Review: Amazing Results
Summary: 5 Stars
Last year my HDL was 80 and my LDL was 161. I have always had a healthy diet and was shocked to find that my bad cholestrol was high, even though my good cholesterol was very high as well. I started taking Benecol Smart Chews in July and with no other changes in my diet or lifestyle, my LDL dropped to 127 with my HDL at 71 at my last checkup. My doctor was amazed as well. I know these have been recently reformulated in some way, better tasting apparently, but I have only tried the new formula and I think they taste great, just like a little caramel. I'm happy and am reordering another box, and one for my Mom too!Customer Review: Cholesterol lowered

I finally got my cholesterol down to a level that my doctor is happy with. Prescription medications alone never worked in spite of very healthy diet habits. Seems that I have the wrong ancestors. Now I can even eat eggs more often then the once a week I had been sticking to. Plus they are so tasty that you think you have had candy. I like to take mine with a handful of walnut pieces and think I've had dessert. I do continue taking my prescription also. Benecol Smart Chews, Caramel, 120-Count Soft Chews
