Plant Sterols  Nutritionists recognize two classes of
phytosterols: (1) sterols, which have a double bond in the
sterol ring; and (2) stanols, which lack a double bond in the
sterol ring .  A mixed Phytosterol complex contains the
following distinct plant sterols:  1) Beta-sitosterol  2)
Campesterol  3) Stigmasterol  There are distinct structural
differences between the above three plant sterols.  In the case
of prostate health, it is beta-sitosterol that has been studied
and reported to provide relief with respect to the symptoms
associated with an enlarged prostate.  Leave a Reply
