Soybean Phytosterol

1. Lower cholesterol and prevent cardiovascular diseases

The molecular structure of soybean sterols is very similar to that of cholesterol. It can act as a competitive inhibitor to inhibit cholesterol hydrolysis in the intestinal cavity and reduce cholesterol absorption, thereby reducing the concentration of cholesterol in the blood. Since it prevents the deposition of cholesterol on the inner wall of the cardiovascular system, soybean sterols can not only prevent hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease, but also prevent diabetes combined with hyperlipidemia and coronary heart disease.

2. Anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer

Soybean sterols have a strong anti-inflammatory effect on the human body, can destroy the protective layer of cancer cells, inhibit cancer cell division, and change the activity of tumor growth hormone to accelerate the death of cancer cells. It has obvious therapeutic effects on skin squamous cell carcinoma, cervical cancer, prostate cancer, and colon cancer.

3. Treatment of rickets

Researchers at Columbia University and the National Medical Research Association in London have found that vitamin D exists in sterols. Purified cholesterol (an animal sterol) and plant sterols can prevent and treat rickets in children, severe tooth decay, osteomalacia, and senile osteoporosis after exposure to ultraviolet light. Eating cholesterol increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. Soy sterols are the raw material of vitamin D, which is safe and reliable for the elderly and children, and has no toxic side effects.

4. Skin care and beauty

Natural soy sterols have antioxidant properties, can maintain the softness and moisture of cells, have mild permeability to the skin, can maintain moisture on the surface of the skin, promote skin metabolism, and have the effects of treating ulcers, inhibiting epidermal inflammation, delaying skin aging, eliminating spots and sunburn erythema, and promoting hair growth and nourishment.

5. Protect the liver

The anti-inflammatory effect of sitosterol in soy sterols can fight against early non-viral hepatitis induced by fatty liver. After being absorbed, soybean sterols can be mistakenly eaten by bacteria and cause bacterial mutation, thereby reducing the production of toxins and the ability of bacteria to invade the human body. This effect is better than the anti-infection ability of the main antibiotics currently used. Therefore, soybean sterols can safely and stably repair liver cell membranes and keep liver cells in a healthy state of life.
