How Do Phytosterols Work in the Body?
Plant sterols (also known as phytosterols) are found in fruit and vegetables and naturally present in the human diet. Whole-grain cereals, seeds, nuts and certain fatty vegetables such as avocadoes are the richest sources of plant sterols. Phytosterols have been shown to inhibit the absorption of the cholesterol present in the body, regardless of whether it is ingested through food (exogenous cholesterol) or produced by our body (endogenous cholesterol).
