- Beta-sitosterol—alone and in combination with
similar plant sterols—reduces blood levels of cholesterol.1 2 This
appears to be because beta-sitosterol blocks absorption of cholesterol.3 It has

Beta-sitosterol is one of several plant sterols
(cholesterol is the main animal sterol) found in almost all plants; high levels are found
in rice bran, wheat germ, corn oils, and soybeans.
