Phytosterols, or plant sterols, are obtained from vacuum steam distillation of edible vegetable oil products.
They are widely used in food, dietary supplement and pharmaceutical applications.
Phytosterols, when taken as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may help reduce the risk of
heart disease by lowering cholesterol levels.
Health claims relating to the cardiovascular benefits of sterols in certain food products are permitted in many countries.
