What is Beta-Sitosterol ?    

Beta-sitosterol, also known as sitosterol or sterol, is a widely distributed natural sterod compound found in plants. Belonging to the triterpenoid class, it serves as a precursor to hormones, vitamin D, and sterod compounds. As a pharmaceutical ingredient, it can be used to prevent and treat type II hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis by lowering serum cholesterol. In MEBO moist burn ointment, β-sitosterol accelerates wound healing by promoting epithelial cell proliferation and participates in the biological rejection response of skin tissue repair.

Feature

Regulating Cholesterol Metabolism: Beta-sitosterol competes with cholesterol for micelle binding sites in the intestine, inhibiting cholesterol absorption and promoting its excretion in feces, thereby effectively reducing total blood cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels. It can also activate LDL receptors in the liver, accelerating cholesterol clearance.

Anti-inflammatory and Immunomodulatory Effects: This ingredient can inhibit inflammatory signaling pathways such as nuclear factor κB, reduce the release of inflammatory factors such as prostaglandins and interleukins, and alleviate chronic inflammatory responses. It can also regulate immune cell activity and improve tissue damage caused by excessive immune responses.

Antioxidant and Skin Protection: As a lipid-soluble antioxidant, it can protect cell membranes from free radical attack and reduce lipid peroxidation caused by external factors such as ultraviolet radiation. Its anti-inflammatory properties can be used to soothe skin irritation and enhance barrier function.

Applications

Functional Foods and Cholesterol-Lowering Products: As food additives (such as margarine, dairy products, and beverages), they are used to reduce dietary cholesterol absorption, complying with health claim regulations. They are also formulated into capsules or tablets as lipid-lowering dietary supplements, suitable for the adjunctive management of hypercholesterolemia.

Skincare Products and Topical Preparations: Added to anti-aging and soothing repair skincare products, utilizing their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties to protect the skin barrier. Used in ointments or lotions to relieve skin problems such as eczema and dermatitis.

Pharmaceutical and Industrial Applications: Used as pharmaceutical excipients to improve the bioavailability of fat-soluble drugs. Used as a natural emulsifying stabilizer in the cosmetics industry. Used in animal feed to improve lipid metabolism and health status in livestock and poultry.

Product Parameters

For some products that require special packaging during transportation, we will carry out more delicate packaging. For example, retinal needs to be stored at -20 °C, so we choose cold chain transportation during transportation; deoxyarbutin will change color during transportation, so we will Vacuum packing of deoxyarbutin
