Description
Technical & Manufacturing Relevance:
Sterols are bioactive plant lipids widely used in nutraceutical, functional food, and cardiometabolic formulations for cholesterol management and cardiovascular support. They reduce intestinal absorption of dietary cholesterol, leading to improved lipid profiles. Plant sterols are commonly incorporated into products targeting LDL-cholesterol reduction, heart health maintenance, metabolic wellness, prostate health (β-sitosterol), and anti-inflammatory support. Free sterols are used in solid dosage forms, while esterified forms are preferred for lipid-based and food applications.
