Beta Sitosterone is one member of the phytosterol (plant sterol) family, with a chemical structure highly similar to that of cholesterol. As part of the sitosterol subgroup, it appears as a white, waxy powder with a unique, characteristic inherent scent. The compound is hydrophobic, and can be fully dissolved in alcohol solutions. It exists widely across the entire plant kingdom, and can be naturally sourced from Nigella sativa, Serenoa repens (saw palmetto), Pygeum africanum, sea-buckthorn, wolfberries, Mirabilis jalapa, Cannabis sativa, Urtica dioica (stinging nettle), and Wrightia tinctoria. China Extract Warehouse is a professional, established manufacturer and supplier of high-purity Beta Sitosterone powder based in China, committed to delivering top-tier products at highly competitive price points. For clients looking to build long-term collaborative partnerships, complimentary product samples are available upon request. We warmly welcome all your inquiries at any time.

Structural Formula reference:
Introduction
Phytosterols, which cover both plant sterols and plant stanols, are a class of steroid compounds structurally close to cholesterol that are naturally produced by plants. Their only structural differences from cholesterol lie in their carbon side chain configurations, and/or the presence or absence of a double bond on the molecule. Stanols are the saturated subgroup of sterols, with no double bonds on their sterol ring structure. Up to now, more than 200 distinct sterols and their related analogous compounds have been identified. Free phytosterols extracted from natural plant oils are insoluble in water, barely soluble in grease, and soluble in various alcohol solutions.
Core Benefits of Beta Sitosterone
- It can boost the excretion of chloride ions from the body. Its diuretic effect mainly works through pathways outside the kidneys, and delivers very weak influence on normal kidney function.
- It supports lowering blood pressure and blood glucose levels. Fermented extracts prepared from corn silk have been proven to exert remarkably significant hypoglycemic effects in rabbit test subjects.
- It has a confirmed choleretic effect: it increases bile production, promotes the smooth excretion of bile, and can reduce the content of organic residues and other impurities in bile.
- It carries hemostatic properties: it accelerates the whole blood coagulation process, raises thrombin levels in the bloodstream, and increases total platelet count.
