Due to their structural similarity to animal cholesterol, phytosterols offer a plant-based alternative in the manufacture of medicines. Phytosterols are the feedstock for a variety of steroids.
Numerous scientific studies have proven the cholesterol-lowering effect of phytosterols. They are therefore used in functional foods such as margarine, milk, yogurt, and bread, as well as in dietary supplements.
The chemical structure of phytosterols allows them to integrate into skin cell membranes, where they help to strengthen the skin barrier. Due to their moisturizing properties, phytosterols can be used in cosmetic and medical skin care products such as creams, lotions, and ointments.
Phytosterols have also recently found use in the area of crop protection. As a functional additive, they can activate natural stress resistance mechanisms and thus improve a plant's adaptation to environmental stress.
