Hi,
Yes, it does.
Although choletsoff is an amalgamation of plant sterols and stanols are "natural," a small percentage of people report bothersome side effects. These include nausea, heartburn or indigestion, constipation, diarrhea, and or decreased sex drive.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
