About Biocol
Biocol is a functional milk brand from Crediton Dairy Ltd, the Devon-based dairy company, designed specifically to help consumers actively lower their cholesterol levels. This clinically proven product combines skimmed cow's milk with added plant sterols to deliver measurable health benefits. The science behind Biocol is compelling: a daily consumption of 1.5-2.4 grams of plant sterols can lower cholesterol by 7-10% in just 2-3 weeks when consumed as part of a healthy diet and lifestyle. Each 250ml serving of Biocol Skimmed Milk contains 0.54g of plant sterols, meaning three daily servings provide 1.62g—within the optimal range for cholesterol reduction. Biocol is produced using high-temperature pasteurisation to ensure safety and extended shelf life while preserving the functionality of the added plant sterols. The milk is low in fat and high in protein, making it suitable as a like-for-like replacement for regular skimmed milk in most applications (though it's not recommended for cooking, which may affect the plant sterols). Made in Devon at Crediton Dairy's facility in Church Lane, Crediton, Biocol is part of the growing functional dairy category that offers consumers health benefits beyond basic nutrition. The product is suitable for vegetarians but comes with important guidance: consumers should consult their doctor if taking cholesterol-lowering medication, and the product isn't suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, children under 5, or those who don't need to manage their cholesterol levels. Available at major UK supermarkets including Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, Waitrose, Ocado, and Amazon, Biocol provides an accessible, everyday way to support heart health through diet.
