Phytosterols
Phytosterols are an active ingredient in plants that are structurally similar to animal sterols such as cholesterols.
Classification of plant sterols: more than 250 kinds of plant sterols and related compounds, roughly divided into three categories: 4-methyl-free sterols,
such as β-sitosterols, stigmosterols, canola sterols, rapeseed sterols, oat sterols and ergosterols; 4-methylsterols, such as graminosterol, limonestadienol, lophaenol;
4,4 '-dimethylsterols, such as cycloxybromelenol, cycloxybromelenol, 2, 4-methylene cycloxybromelanol

Function of Phytosterols
Lower blood lipids and cholesterol:
Plant sterols help inhibit the absorption of cholesterol by the body,
which lowers the level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL bad cholesterol) in the blood and reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Prevention of cardiovascular disease:
By lowering blood lipids and cholesterol, plant sterols can prevent atherosclerosis and reduce the incidence of coronary heart disease,
myocardial infarction, stroke and other serious diseases.
Inhibit prostatic hyperplasia and androgenic alopecia:
beta-sitosterol in plant sterols reduces the conversion of testosterone to DHT, helps control testosterone and DHT levels in the body,
and prevents prostatic hyperplasia and androgenic alopecia.
Promote wound healing and enhance capillary circulation:
Plant sterols can promote wound healing and enhance capillary circulation, which has certain benefits for the skin.
Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory:
Plant sterols help to inhibit bacteria and fight infection, while also preventing the synthesis of cholesterol, and scavenging free radicals in the body,
maintaining the stability of cell membranes.
Reduce hypertension, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia:
Plant sterols can be combined with bile acid particles, help reduce three high, promote cholesterol decomposition and excretion, suitable for three high people to take .
Improve thyroid function:
Plant sterols can help regulate the activity of metabolic enzymes in the body, improve the ability of gonads to block, and speed up cholesterol metabolism.
Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant:
Phytosterols have anti-inflammatory effects, helping to improve local inflammatory lesions, while it also has antioxidant effects, scavenging free radicals in the body,
preventing skin aging or organ cell failure .
Hair growth and growth:
Phytosterols also have the effect of hair growth and growth, can help improve hair loss and hair loss symptoms, so that hair becomes more black and beautiful .
Prevention of atherosclerosis:
Plant sterols can dilate blood vessels, increase blood flow rate, improve blood flow, and prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
