Beta-sitosterol: Beta-sitosterol is one of the most common dietary plant sterols (chemical found in certain plants) found and synthesized exclusively by plants such as in fruits, vegetables, soybeans, breads, peanuts and peanut products. Many studies in humans and animals have demonstrated that eating more foods that contain beta-sitosterol decreases total serum cholesterol, as well as low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. Caution is advised when taking beta-sitosterol supplements, as numerous adverse effects including drug interactions are possible. Beta-sitosterol supplements are not generally used during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless otherwise advised by a doctor.
