Beta-sitosterol supports prostate health. Clinical research reports suggest that it may promote normal urinary function, and evidence suggests it may help maintain hair with age. There is preliminary research indicating that beta-sitosterol may have unique immune support functions, particularly for colon health.*
A plant sterol, beta-sitosterol is similar in chemical structure to cholesterol in animal products, but instead of increasing cholesterol levels, it helps balance cholesterol levels. It works by inhibiting absorption of cholesterol from food in the intestinal tract. Aside from avoiding cholesterol-rich foods in the diet, reducing its absorption in the intestines is the most natural way to manage healthy levels. According to the FDA, beta-sitosterol is one of the sterols from plants that can be added to foods like margarines to support healthy cholesterol levels.*
We offer 100 mg of Beta-Sitosterol in vegetarian capsules, along with hesperidin bioflavonoid concentrate for additional vascular support.*
1-3 capsules taken over the day is the amount given to men in research evaluating prostate and urinary health. More capsules can be taken for cholesterol support*. Best taken with meals.
