Description
Technical & Manufacturing Relevance:
Stanols and their esters are well-established functional ingredients widely used in nutraceutical and functional food formulations for cholesterol management. They work by inhibiting intestinal absorption of dietary and biliary cholesterol, leading to reduced LDL-cholesterol levels. Stanol esters are preferred in food and softgel formulations due to their improved fat solubility and incorporation into lipid matrices. They are commonly used in products targeting cardiovascular health, cholesterol and lipid balance, metabolic wellness, and preventive heart-health nutrition.
