What is BetasitosterolBetasitosterol is a plant sterol similar in structure to cholesterol found naturally in fruits vegetables beans especially soy nuts and seeds. Phytosterols plant sterols including betasitosterol contain a complex of specific types of plant sterols known as sitosterolins stigmasterol and campesterol. How does it workBetasitosterol actually inhibits intestinal absorption of dietary cholesterol by competing for the limited space for cholesterol during intestinal uptake. It also affects an enzyme that results in the reduction of cholesterol rich lipoprotein LDL. This can lower the LDL blood levels. Most of the early research focused on its use in lowering cholesterol in heart disease. Nowadays it is also used for its ability to improve the symptoms related to benign prostatic hyperplasia BPH and several studies have been published to support its use for this. What does the citrus pectin doCitrus pectin is made of fiber found in the white rind of citrus fruits which can also be used to lower cholesterol by a mechanism of blocking its dietary absorption. In addition it was found to inhibit the formation of atherosclerotic plaque on the walls of blood vessels. Review of CholesterolYour blood cholesterol levels are affected not only by the saturated fat and cholesterol in your diet but also by the cholesterol your body produces on its own due to a myriad of biochemical influences. Cholesterol is actually a necessary component of cell membranes and is an essential building block for the production of hormones vitamin D and bile acids which are important for the absorption and metabolism of fat. Cholesterol is present in all parts of the body including the brain nervous system muscles skin liver intestines heart and skeleton. Cholesterol travels in the blood bound to protein carrier packages called lipoproteins. All lipoproteins are formed in the liver and carrycholesterol throughout the body. Blood cholesterol packaged in low density lipoproteins LDL carry most of the cholesterol in the blood and if not removed from the blood properly cholesterol can build up in arteries contributing to atherosclerosis. This is why LDL cholesterol is often called bad cholesterol.Cholesterol is also packaged in a high density lipoprotein HDL. HDL carry cholesterol BACK to the liver for processing or removal from the body. HDL help remove cholesterol from the blood preventing the accumulation in the walls of the arteries. Thus they are referred to as the good cholesterol.How does betas work for supporting prostate healthBetasitosterol binds to prostatic tissue inhibits prostaglandin synthesis in the prostate and acts as an antiinflammatory. Betas can also reduce the activity of 5alphareductase an enzyme responsible for activating the conversion of testosterone to DHT dihydrotestosterone. This prevents the cell proliferation and growth hyperplasia of prostate tissue that leads to all the
