Product Overview
Plant sterols, extracted from sources such as maize and soybean and subsequently refined through physical processes, possess significant nutritional value and potent biological efficacy. These compounds are well-known for their ability to reduce cholesterol levels, thereby helping to mitigate the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.

Applications
- Biliary Support: Plant sterols exhibit a choleretic action, promoting the secretion and flow of bile. This can aid in reducing the concentration of organic matter and impurities within the bile.
- Diuretic Properties: These compounds can enhance the excretion of chloride ions. Their observed mild diuretic effect primarily occurs outside the renal system, showing minimal direct influence on kidney function.
- Blood Coagulation: Plant sterols possess hemostatic properties; they can accelerate the blood clotting cascade, elevating blood thrombin levels and increasing the count of platelets.
- Metabolic Regulation: They may contribute to lowering elevated blood pressure and blood glucose levels. Specifically, fermented preparations derived from corn stigma have shown a notable capacity to reduce blood sugar in test subjects like rabbits.
