STEROLS & STEROLINS

Can be beneficial for those with prostate concerns .
Vegetable oils contain small amounts of Sterols. But unfortunately alot of calories.
Phytosterols, plant sterols, look like human/animal cholesterol molecules but in contrast to animal-based cholesterol, are not easily absorbed into the body. They actually block the absorption of dietary cholesterol in the intestines, causing a decrease in blood cholesterol levels. Daily intake of phytosterols can lower LDL (harmful) cholesterol levels by an average of 10% to 14%. They do not alter the levels of triglycerides or HDL (beneficial) cholesterol. One type of sterol, beta-sitosterol has been well studied for its activity on the prostate gland.
Supplementation with beta-sitosterol increases urinary flow rate and decreases pain and burning on urination in men with benign prostates hypertrophy. Beta sitosterol has also been studied as an anti-inflammatory agent and immune regulator in rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases. Furthermore beta sitosterol stimulates insulin secretion and may contribute to better blood sugar control, for diabetics. As more research is done on these molecules more health benefits are bound to be uncovered.
Food manufacturers are adding phytosterols to products like margarine. Read the product label to see if significant amounts of phytosterols are present in the product. Phytosterols are available in capsules for supplementation. They should be standardized as an assurance of the amount of active sterols they contain. Phytosterols can be found in combination products for immune boosting, cholesterol control, blood sugar balancing and prostate health.
There are no known contraindications for the plant sterols. Some studies show a reduction in the carotenes when plant sterols are taken. Consider supplementation with beta-carotene. Take plant sterols with meals for cholesterol control and away from meals for prostate disorders.
