Why You Should Supplement Beta Sitosterol

Beta-sitosterol (beta sitosterol) is a plant chemical called phytosterol or plant alcohol and is found in every vegetable we eat. While we eat it every day, we do not get enough of it in our diet.

Research attaches many benefits to beta-sitosterol including reducing such discomforts of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) as frequent and painful urination and lowering cholesterol.

Help for BPH and Other Prostate Problems Beta-sitosterol has long been used by Europeans for prostate problems and now its popularity is growing among American men. Promising results from research are published regularly. A Lancet study found that men with BPH who were given beta sitosterol daily for six months showed significant improvement in urinary difficulties. Those given a placebo reported no relief.

A 1999 review of four clinical trials involving 519 men with mild to moderate BPH found that beta-sitosterol provided notable relief from urinary problems. It also increased urine flow and caused few side effects. Interestingly, benefits matched those commonly seen with prescription BPH drugs.

Shows Promise for Cholesterol Support Research conducted during the past 30 years has also indicated that beta-sitosterol has positive effects on both cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Dietary supplementation has been shown to affect both the absorption of dietary cholesterol, and the systemic levels of cholesterol and triglycerides, helping to normalize both. Beta-sitosterol is known to interfere with the absorption of cholesterol. It can also improve the HDL/LDL ratio.

If you are seeking relief from the symptoms of BPH including reduced urine flow and painful urination, Vitabase Beta-Sitosterol can be an important element in restoring prostate health. It can also provide needed support for proper cholesterol levels.
