What is Beta-sitosterol? Beta-sitosterol is a plant sterol similar in structure to cholesterol, found naturally in fruits, vegetables, beans (especially soy), nuts and seeds.Phytosterols, (plant sterols) including
Beta-sitosterol, contain a complex of specific types of plant sterols known as sitosterolins and campesterol.
How does it work?
Beta sitosterol actually inhibits intestinal absorption of dietary cholesterol by competing for the limited space for cholesterol during intestinal uptake. It also affects an enzyme that results in the reduction of cholesterol rich lipoprotein, LDL.This can lower the LDL blood levels.
Most of the early research focused on its use in lowering cholesterol in heart desease.Nowdays, it is also used for its ability to improve the symptoms related benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and several studies have been published to support its use for this.
What does the citrus pectin do?
Citrus pectin is made of fiber found in the white rind of citrus fruits, which can also be used to lower cholesterol by a mechanism of blocking its dietary absorption. In addition, it was found to inhibit the formation of atherosclerotic plaque on the walls of blood vessels.
