1.Cholesterol-Lowering Effect
Phytosterols structurally resemble cholesterol and compete for absorption in the gut, reducing LDL ("bad") cholesterol by 10-15% at a daily intake of 1.5-3g (EFSA & FDA-approved health claim).

Esterification improves bioavailability compared to free phytosterols.

2.Thermal & Oxidative Stability
Suitable for baking, frying, and dairy applications (e.g., margarine, milk powders).

Often combined with antioxidants (e.g., tocopherols) to prevent degradation.

3.Neutral Taste & Easy Formulation

Unlike free phytosterols (gritty texture), esterified forms blend smoothly into oils, softgels, and powdered supplements.

Notes: Phytosterols and its preparations are not drugs themselves, and cannot replace the therapeutic effects of drugs, but can only be used for health care.
