Phytosterol powder is a plant-derived compound structurally similar to cholesterol, found naturally in various plant oils, nuts, seeds, and grains.
It is commonly used as a dietary supplement to help lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels, reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Phytosterols work by competing with cholesterol for absorption in the digestive system, effectively blocking its uptake.
