Phytosterols are similar in structure to cholesterol and may help reduce the risk of  coronary heart diseases if consumed in ample quantities. The richest  sources of phytosterols are vegetable oils and the products made from them. Nuts, seeds, and legumes also contain a large amount of phytosterols.

Beta-sitosterol  is available  as  supplement form to treat  cholesterol and for the  prevention  of other health disorders. Despite its ability to lower  cholesterol  LDL, there is only limited proof that it can prevent or treat particular health conditions.

Health and therapeutics:

Health practitioners, nutritionists, herbalists, naturopathic physicians  believe that beta-sitosterol can treat many  diseases  such as  asthma, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, gall bladder stones, migraine headache , rheumatoid arthritis, and menstrual disorders. In addition, beta-sitosterol is considered  to prevent heart disease and certain forms of cancer (including prostate cancer and colon cancer).

Cardiovascular health Disease

Beta-sitosterol may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease  by lowering LDL cholesterol in the blood.

Increasing your dietary intake, beta-sitosterol effectively competes with animal cholesterol for absorption in the intestines. Over time, this can reduce the risk of  hardening of the arteries, a condition which contributes to heart attack and stroke.

Findings has consistently shown that eating 2 grams of phytosterols per day can reduce your LDL cholesterol by anywhere from  10 percent to 15 percent

Beta-sitosterol supplements may contribute to a reduced Cardio Vascular Disease  risk, there are no indications that the supplements can do so without other interventions, such as a fat free diet,  food  and exercise.

Beta-sitosterol natural supplements are often used  for their anti-cancer therapeutic properties.
None of this should suggest that beta-sitosterol or  phytochemicals have any direct impact on cancer cells. Rather, it provides some indications  at a possible avenue for cancer drug development.
