Description
Technical Parameters
1. Product Introduction
Phytosterols, also known as plant sterols, are natural steroid compounds and essential active ingredients widely existing in plants. They are abundantly distributed in vegetable oils, nuts, plant seeds and legumes. Up to 2020, more than 250 types of phytosterols and their derivatives have been discovered and industrially applied.
Natural phytosterols have excellent physiological activities including cholesterol reduction, anti-inflammation, antioxidation and skin soothing. Our supplied phytosterol powder adopts pure plant extraction technology, featuring GMO-free, pesticide residue-free, allergen-free and heavy metal-free, with pure texture, stable activity and safe grade, widely applicable in food health care, cosmetics, pharmaceutical and agricultural industries.
Main Natural Food Sources: Common plant foods contain phytosterols, among which corn germ oil ranks the highest in vegetable oils. Legumes have higher content than cereals, especially soybeans, with over 100mg phytosterols per 100g soybeans. A 250g cup of soy milk can provide about 20mg natural phytosterols for human body.
What are phytosterols ?
Phytosterols powder is an active ingredient in plants and a steroidal compound. It is widely found in various vegetable oils, nuts and plant seeds. It has significant cholesterol-lowering, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and skin-soothing functions. As of 2020, about 250 phytosterols and their derivatives have been discovered and applied.
Features of Phytosterol Powder We Supply: GMO-free, pesticide residue-free, allergen-free, and heavy metal-free.
Synonyms:plant sterols, plant phytosterols
Foods with phytosterols
According to measurements, most plant foods contain phytosterols, with higher contents in vegetable oils, beans, nuts, etc. Among vegetable oils, corn germ oil has the highest phytosterol content. The phytosterol content in beans is higher than that in cereals, with soybeans having the highest content. The phytosterol content in every 100 grams of soybeans exceeds 100 mg. For example, drinking a cup of soy milk (250 g) every day can provide about 20 mg of phytosterols.

3.Authoritative Certification
A large number of epidemiological data and clinical experiments prove that phytosterols can effectively reduce the risk of chronic cardiovascular diseases, with authoritative health recognition globally:
1. FDA Authorized Health Claim
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) officially approves: A daily intake of 1.3g phytosterol esters (or 0.8g free phytosterols), combined with a low saturated fat and low cholesterol diet, can effectively reduce the risk of heart disease.
2. EAS Professional Recommendation
The European Atherosclerosis Society (EAS) clearly states that daily supplementation of 2g plant sterols can reduce LDL-C (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol) by 10% and cut the incidence of coronary heart disease by 10%-20%, significantly protecting cardiovascular health.
3. Antioxidant & Anti-Inflammatory
Phytosterols have excellent antioxidant activity, which can scavenge free radicals in the body, reduce oxidative cell damage, and inhibit inflammatory reactions, assisting in improving various chronic inflammatory sub-health conditions.
4. Skincare & Cosmetic Efficacy
Soybean-derived phytosterols are verified by scientific research to have significant skin repair effects, widely used in high-end skincare formulas:
1. Professional Skin Barrier Repair
Phytosterols have a cholesterol-like structural mechanism, which participates in skin homeostasis regulation. It repairs epidermal endogenous damage, accelerates skin barrier recovery, and improves skin resistance.
2. Relieve Skin Discomfort
Effectively improve and repair skin problems such as erythema, chilblains, dry chapped skin and sensitive redness, with prominent soothing and moisturizing effects.
3. Anti-Aging & Anti-Oxidation
It resists skin oxidative aging, reduces fine lines and dullness, improves skin texture, and maintains skin elasticity and vitality.
5. Wide Application Fields
1. Food & Health Supplement Industry
Phytosterols and phytosterol esters are certified as new food raw materials by European and American food regulations. They are widely added in bread, cereals, chocolate, margarine, dairy products, soybean beverages, cooking oil, salad oil and seasonings. It is the core raw material for cholesterol-lowering and cardiovascular health care supplements.
2. Cosmetic & Personal Care Industry
Relying on barrier repair, anti-inflammatory, soothing and anti-aging effects, it is widely used in sensitive skin care products, moisturizing creams, repair lotions and anti-dry skincare products.
3. Pharmaceutical Industry
Used as auxiliary pharmaceutical raw materials for cardiovascular disease adjuvant treatment, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant pharmaceutical preparations.
4. Agriculture & Animal Husbandry
Applied as feed additives to improve animal antioxidant capacity and immunity, and optimize breeding quality.
Phytosterols for skin
Scientific research has proven the effectiveness of soy phytosterols in treating erythema, chilblains and chapped skin. Phytosterols have a cholesterol-like mechanism and play an important role in skin homeostasis, accelerating barrier recovery by regulating endogenous factors in the epidermis.
