Обзор

Phytosterols are plant sterols structurally similar to cholesterol. In the gut they compete with cholesterol for absorption, so they appear in discussions of dietary lipid patterns.

Main sources are vegetable oils, nuts, seeds and cereal germ. Fortified spreads are a separate product; ordinary foods provide moderate amounts.
