Product Description
Patient One MediNutritionals' Phytosterol Complex 900 mg provides plant sterols to support healthy heart and prostate function. Beta-sitosterol‚ the most abundant of these plant sterols‚ is complemented by Campesterol and Stigmasterol for added health benefits.
Phytosterols are sterol molecules structurally similar to cholesterol‚ synthesized by plants and naturally found in grains‚ nuts‚ seeds‚ fruits‚ and vegetable oils. The typical Western diet supplies only about 100-200 mg of phytosterols per day (based on beta-sitosterol content)‚ in contrast to vegetarian and Japanese diets‚ which provide 345 and 400 mg/day‚ respectively. Additionally‚ natural phytosterols are often removed during vegetable oil processing‚ making supplementation an effective way to obtain these beneficial molecules.
Studied for over 50 years‚ clinical trials indicate that phytosterols significantly support healthy lipid metabolism. As plant sterols pass through the digestive tract‚ they interfere with the absorption of dietary cholesterol from foods such as meat and eggs. Consequently‚ the presence of plant sterols results in less total cholesterol being absorbed by the body. Plant sterols are believed to block cholesterol absorption in the intestines while promoting healthy bile production‚ offering dual-action support for maintaining balanced cholesterol levels. Phytosterols also support liver receptor function and maintain healthy enzyme activity.
Beta-sitosterol further supports healthy prostate function. Research indicates that phytosterols naturally bind to prostate tissues‚ where they modulate inflammation and influence cell signaling to promote normal cell growth in the prostate. Clinical trials also highlight the role of phytosterols in healthy urinary function. In a 6-month randomized‚ double-blind‚ placebo-controlled‚ multicenter study with 200 male subjects‚ a mixed phytosterol complex providing beta-sitosterol was shown to support healthy urinary flow.
