A healthy vegan food supplement that helps normalize cholesterol levels in the body.
Beta-sitosterol (B-S) is a phytosterol that is a beneficial type of compound found in some plant foods.
Because it's a phytosterol—also called a plant sterol or sterol ester that has a structure that mimics that of cholesterol—it can help lower cholesterol naturally and potentially reduce the risk of developing heart disease.
Although there is little research on the topic, beta-sitosterol is also used to support prostate health and prevent allergies, asthma, gallbladder disease, tuberculosis, PMS, and joint and muscle pain.
One of the most common uses of beta-sitosterol is to reduce the absorption of cholesterol in the intestines. This lowers LDL "bad cholesterol," which is associated with an increased risk of heart disease such as coronary artery disease and atherosclerosis.
Although phytosterols can help lower total and LDL cholesterol levels, they won't raise your high-density lipoprotein (HDL) "good" cholesterol levels, so it's still important to eat healthy fats like part of your balanced diet.
Phytosterols, including beta-sitosterol, are found in foods that naturally contain fat, such as nuts, seeds, avocados, and vegetable oils. Although they are low-fat foods, some legumes also contain beta-sitosterol.
