Cholestatin®
Cholestatin® is a plant sterol concentrate, rich in beta-sitosterol,
campesterol and stigmasterol. Sterols and sterolins are fats that are found in most higher plants. These plant fats have chemical structures that are nearly identical to cholesterol.
Heart Health Although the actual mechanism of action is unclear,
numerous studies have consistently demonstrated
that phytosterols, when consumed with food, significantly reduced
the absorption of dietary cholesterol at the intestinal tract. This further resulted in lowering
the serum LDL cholesterol whilst HDL ('good' cholesterol) is unaffected.
Immune Health Studies have shown that when sterols and sterolins are administered together, they enhance the immune system. May have some benefit in AIDS and HIV therapy by stimulating the activity of the immune system, which helps control the multiplication of the virus.
Mens Health:
The results of two double-blind clinical trials have reported that men with BPH who
took sitosterols had substantial improvements in their symptoms. Beta-sitosterol may
lessen inflammation and block the accumulation of cholesterol in the prostate gland
itself but it does not appear to alter the size of the prostate.
Caution:Cholestatin is not recommended for those
who have had organ transplants or bone marrow transplants.
Also, diabetics may need to monitor the blood insulin level under supervision of a medical practitioner.
