Beta sitosterol Powder

What is beta sitosterol powder?

Beta sitosterol powder is white needle-shaped/scale-shaped crystals or white crystalline powder, odorless, insoluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol and acetone, and easily soluble in chloroform and carbon disulfide.
It is one of the phytosterol components and belongs to the tetracyclic triterpene compound. It is widely present in various plant oils, nuts and other plant seeds in nature, and also in some herbal medicines. It is widely present in plants in nature, such as plant seeds, plant oils, nuts, herbal medicines, etc. Due to its unique chemical and biological properties, it is widely used in the medical field.
At present, it is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry with its unique biological characteristics and physical and chemical properties. In particular, studies have shown that its intake is related to the incidence of many chronic diseases in the population. Therefore, its medical application and development prospects have attracted more and more attention.

Distribution in medicinal plants
It is an active ingredient in some medicinal plants, which exists in the rhizomes, flowers, leaves, fruits, tubers and whole herbs of some plants. For example, it exists in the whole herb of Hedyotis diffusa of the Rubiaceae family. Or it exists in the seeds of the Cruciferae plant Sinapis alba. Or it exists in the tubers of the Araceae plant Pinellia. Or it exists in the tubers of the Scrophulariaceae plant Rehmanniae. Or it exists in the leaves of the Asclepiadaceae plant Hoya.

Pharmacological effects
It is a class of physiologically active substances that can be used to synthesize steroid hormones that regulate water, protein, sugar and salt metabolism. In addition, relevant studies have shown that it has the effects of lowering serum cholesterol, reducing inflammation and relieving fever, and improving the body's immunity. It can promote Bax protein expression, while reducing Bcl-2 protein expression and activating Bid, that is, regulating cell apoptosis by regulating mitochondrial function. Preparation method
It can be separated from the unsaponifiable part of vegetable oils and fats, which can improve resource utilization.
The preparation method is mainly to use the alkali soap residue of rice bran oil refining as raw material, dry it into small particles or powder, add acetone and distill it to obtain the extract, cool it to precipitate crude beta sitosterol crystals, dry it, wash it with n-hexane until it is white, cool it to precipitate crystals, and then use ethanol for recrystallization, filter it and dry it to obtain the finished product.

Effects:

It has the effects of lowering cholesterol, anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory, cough and expectorant, and improving immunity. It can be used in the treatment of diseases such as type II hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, chronic tracheitis, chronic dermatitis, and prostate hyperplasia. In addition, it can promote wound healing, prevent hair loss, and reduce swelling of the limbs after strenuous exercise. It is widely used in the fields of medicine and health care products.

1. It can help reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol
One of the most common uses and benefits is to help reduce the absorption of cholesterol in the intestine. This reduces low-density lipoprotein "bad cholesterol", which is associated with an increased risk of heart disease such as coronary artery disease and atherosclerosis. Studies have shown that people who maintain low blood total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels tend to eat a diet that is not only low in total fat, especially saturated fat and cholesterol, but also relatively high in plant foods containing dietary fiber and other ingredients. How much do you need to consume to help balance cholesterol? Experts recommend taking at least 2 grams of plant sterols a day from healthy foods such as nuts and seeds, in addition to regular exercise to support overall cardiovascular function. BS supplements may also be recommended for people with hypercholesterolemia in doses higher than 200 mg/day. While phytosterols can help lower total and LDL cholesterol levels, they do not raise "good" high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels, so it is still important to include healthy fats as part of a balanced diet.

2. May Help Prevent Prostate Problems
It is used to reduce symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), which causes problems with urination and urination frequency control in men. It is thought to help reduce swelling and inflammation by binding to the prostate, which can cause discomfort and the urge to urinate. However, the exact mechanism of how it works is not fully understood, only that it is associated with cholesterol metabolism and anti-inflammatory effects. There is evidence that it does improve both, even if it does not cause actual prostate size. By age 60, more than 50% of men will have BPH, and by age 85, 90% of men will have the disease. In addition to increasing your intake of phytosterols, other supplements that may help men with BPH include saw palmetto, fruit pits, and lycopene. 3. Possible immune support
Some evidence suggests that it may be able to induce mystification and inhibit the growth of certain types of human cells. It is not used alone as a treatment - but is considered an adjunct to other drugs and procedures. There is also limited evidence that it may help improve immune function, especially in athletes who engage in strenuous exercise.
