Sterols

I had no idea what this was until I came here, but I got sold on it. I take this with Boswelia and devil’s claw tea, which I am drinking right now. Plant Sterols Powder by New Roots is used to help manage cholesterol levels, but I don't use it for that. I read that it can help with other issues because of its Beta-sitosterol, which is what I got it. I haven't explored it enough yet, but I am on way to learning more about it.

Helps with Cholesterol Control

I have been using this since 2019 when it was suggested by a dietitian that I try it to help control Cholesterol. It definitely helped keep the cholesterol numbers low. Just recently, due to my age, I started on a very low dose cholesterol med to be sure the numbers stay below the borderline where they have been for years. I still use the plant sterols & everything is testing good now. Be aware if you do try it that it doesn't mix well with much of anything, but it has no taste & a bottle lasts a very long time when the dosage is only 1/2 teaspoon a day. I usually take 1/4 teaspoon twice a day so it mixes in better. I find it mixes well in yogurt or applesauce. I also sometimes sprinkle it on cereal.

Easy to Take

This can be added easily to food and is tasteless so it's easy to add to any regimen. Four stars as it's early days to tell if it works for cholesterol.

Good Value, Hope Test Results Are Good!

Bought it as a natural alternative to cholesterol pills. Not sure if it works, as I haven't had BW done yet. Has no taste, but hard to dissolve in liquids. Easy to eat with apple sauce or yougurt.

New Roots PLANT STEROLS POWDER

This was recommended to me to help lower my borderline cholesterol. I have been using plant sterols daily for almost 8 months & when I had blood work done recently my counts had come down, so it obviously works. I am glad with the results because I don't want to go on cholesterol-lowering drugs if I can control it by watching what I eat & using the plant sterols. I only gave it 4 stars because it doesn't mix into anything very well. If I made smoothies it might be OK but I don't so I usually mix it into yogurt & fortunately it has no taste.

STEROLS & STEROLINS

Can be beneficial for those with prostate concerns ...

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.
