Phytosterols (plant sterols/stanols) are natural plant-derived compounds that block dietary cholesterol absorption, used in functional foods and supplements for cardiovascular cholesterol management.We supply bulk Phytosterols sourced from leading China manufacturers, available in powder form for international food processing operations. Our Phytosterols is widely used in cholesterol-lowering functional foods, cardiovascular-health supplements, spread fortification, dairy drink enrichment and pharmaceutical cholesterol-management.
Phytosterols are steroid alcohols naturally present in vegetable oils, nuts and grains.
Commercially produced by extraction from soybean oil deodoriser distillate or tall oil. The major phytosterols — beta-sitosterol, campesterol and stigmasterol — compete with cholesterol for intestinal absorption, lowering LDL-cholesterol by 6-15% at 2 g/day.
