98% Pine Phytosterol Powder
What is Pine Phytosterol Powder?
Phytosterols are naturally occurring active components in plant cell membranes.
Their structure is similar to cholesterol found in animals, but
differs in their side chains. The human body cannot synthesize
phytosterols on its own and must obtain them from food. Common
sources include vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, legumes, and whole
grains. Their most notable property is their ability to
competitively inhibit cholesterol absorption in the intestine.
Because of their similar structure to cholesterol, they "take up
space" in the intestine, encouraging the body to excrete more
cholesterol, thereby helping to lower total cholesterol and "bad"
cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in the blood.
While many plants contain sterols, pine is a particularly important commercial source. Typically extracted
from pine bark or byproducts of pine papermaking, phytosterols are
a concentrated and high-quality source of natural phytosterols.
Key Features
1. Lowers cholesterol
Phytosterol extract is equivalent to taking a statin every day,
reducing "bad cholesterol" (LDL-C) levels by about 10%, with
roughly the same effect.
Mechanism of action: In the intestines, beta-sitosterol fights
cholesterol, preventing it from being absorbed and helping it to be
excreted from the body.
2. Maintains immune system function and reduces swelling
pine phytosterol powder can prevent IL-6 and TNF-α from causing
lung and joint swelling, speed up the healing of tissue cells, and
also enhance the function of lymphocytes, helping the immune system
fight diseases such as HIV and tuberculosis.
3. Protects the prostate
Small doses of phytosterols can help relieve symptoms of benign
prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), including frequent urination and
difficulty urinating.
Applications
1.Heart Health Capsules: Enhanced bioavailability for faster results.
2.Fortified drinks: The formula stays strong even when heated.
3.Pharmaceuticals: Meets the purity standards of the pharmacopeia.

Package & Storage
Our packing method is 1KG/Aluminium bags, 25kg/drum
For some products that require special packaging during
transportation, we will carry out more delicate packaging. For
example, retinal needs to be stored at -20 °C, so we choose cold
chain transportation during transportation; deoxyarbutin will
change color during transportation, so we will Vacuum packing of
deoxyarbutin
