Products Description

Phytosterols are a class of natural compounds present in plants and belong to the family of steroids. They play important structural and functional roles in plant cell membranes. Phytosterols include β-sitosterol (beta-sitosterol), α-ergosterol (campesterol), Δ5-brassicasterol (brassicasterol) and the like. They exist in plants in parts such as seeds, fruits, leaves and vegetable oils.

Phytosterols have limited digestion and absorption in humans, so they are generally considered non-nutrients in the diet. However, phytosterols have several biological activities and health benefits, mainly including the following:

Products Benefits

Cholesterol Regulation

Phytosterols compete with dietary cholesterol for absorption in the intestine, which can reduce the absorption of cholesterol, thereby reducing blood cholesterol levels. This makes phytosterols an effective way to lower blood lipids and protect cardiovascular health.

Anti-inflammation and Anti-oxidation

Phytosterols have certain anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative activities, which can reduce the damage to cells caused by inflammatory reactions and oxidative stress, and help maintain the healthy state of the body.

Immunomodulation

Phytosterols have a certain regulatory effect on the immune system, can enhance the function of immune cells, and regulate the immune response.
