Beta-sitosterol is plant sterol found in almost all plants. It is one of the main subcomponents of a group of plant sterols known as phytosterols. The benefits of Beta Sitosterol are as follows: - Controlling Cholesterol: Beta-sitosterol has been known to reduce cholesterol levels over the last three decades. Its close chemical resemblance to cholesterol enables it to block the absorption of cholesterol by competitive inhibition. Promoting Prostate Health: Plant sterols actually improved prostate symptom scores and reduced urine volume and residual urine levels without reducing the size of the prostate. Beta-sitosterol was one of the major components in these herbal preparations. Boosts Immunity: Beta-sitosterol may give a boost to competitive athletes who often suffer from immune suppression and reduced inflammatory response during their intense training periods and competitions. Normalizes Blood Sugar: Beta-sitosterol has been shown to normalize blood sugar and insulin levels in Type II diabetics by stimulating the release of insulin in the presence of non-stimulatory glucose concentrations, and inhibiting glucose-6-phosphatase. Other Benefits of Beta-sitosterol: Beta-sitosterol has the ability to relieve inflammation, heal ulcers, enhance uterine tone and alleviate cramps. It also has anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal agents.
