Global Phytosterols Market Definition

Phytosterols (also known as plant sterols and stanol esters) are a class of naturally occurring chemicals found in the membranes of plants. Because phytosterols have a structural similarity to cholesterol, they compete with cholesterol for absorption in the digestive system when eaten. As a result, cholesterol absorption is inhibited, and blood cholesterol levels fall. Furthermore, fruits, vegetables, vegetable oils, whole grains, soybeans, mushrooms, lentils, and nuts are all high in phytosterols. In addition, Phytosterols are bioactive molecules that are present in nature and are structurally similar to cholesterol found in animals.

They are usually found in unprocessed vegetable oils, whole grains, seeds, nuts, and legumes, and are used to prevent cholesterol from being absorbed in the digestive system. Phytosterols prevent cholesterol from being absorbed in the intestine by displacing its molecules from micelles and enabling excretion, lowering blood cholesterol levels. This, in turn, aids in the maintenance of an overall healthy body by preventing maladies including cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), obesity, and various malignancies.

Moreover, phytosterols are an important component of dark chocolate, which is a favorite delicacy among the general public. Another growth-inducing element is the flourishing cosmetic and cosmetics business, which uses phytosterols in anti-aging creams and lotions due to their skin-replenishing and anti-inflammatory characteristics. Phytosterols are added to some commercially prepared foods such as juices, yogurt, cereal bars, salad dressings, and margarine during the manufacturing process. Supplements containing phytosterols are commonly accessible in health food stores, grocery stores, and pharmacies.
