If you are someone who is prone to developing high cholesterol, you may be interested in supplements that support overall cardiovascular health, especially those that keep LDL cholesterol levels within a healthy range. One such supplement is a plant sterol called beta-sitosterol.
What is BETA SITOSTEROL COMPLEX 500 mg from Pure Nutrition?
A healthy vegan dietary supplement that helps normalize cholesterol levels in the body.
Beta-sitosterol (BS) is a phytosterol, which is a beneficial type of compound found in some plant foods.
Because it is a phytosterol — also called a plant sterol or sterol ester, which has a structure that mimics that of cholesterol — it can help naturally lower cholesterol 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.
BETA SITOSTEROL COMPLEX to reduce "bad" cholesterol
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 diseases such as coronary artery disease and atherosclerosis.
Although phytosterols can help lower total and LDL cholesterol levels, they will not raise levels of “good” high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, so it is still important to consume healthy fats as part of your balanced diet.
Which foods naturally contain beta-sitosterol?
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.
