Q: How does this Beta-Sitosterol Powder differ from consuming whole soybean oil?

A: Culinary soybean oil is more than 95 % triglycerides, delivering minimal sterols alongside significant calories. This powder isolates the unsaponifiable fraction, standardised to 50 % beta-sitosterol and 90 % total phytosterols, so meaningful cardio- and prostate-support levels fit inside a single capsule or gummy. The concentrate is virtually fat-free, mixes cleanly with other actives and lets brands state precise phytosterol content without the oxidative-stability issues of bulk oils.

Q: What daily amount is typical in cholesterol-support products?

A: Most finished formulas supply 800–1 200 mg of phytosterol concentrate per day, often split between two main meals. Clinical evidence shows this intake can lower intestinal fat absorption and support healthy lipid profiles without affecting fat-soluble vitamin status when diets remain balanced. It also fits neatly into two size-0 capsules or a single functional gummy serving, keeping routines consumer-friendly while staying within global phytosterol guidelines.

Q: Can Beta-Sitosterol Powder be combined with red-yeast rice or omega-3 oils?

A: Yes. Beta-sitosterol blocks fat uptake, red-yeast rice modulates endogenous synthesis and omega-3s support triglyceride balance—three complementary mechanisms for comprehensive lipid care. In multi-ingredient capsules, add antioxidants like mixed tocopherols to protect omega-3s, and keep total sterols within regional intake limits. In emulsified liquids, micro-encapsulate the sterol powder to prevent sedimentation and maintain a homogenous pour throughout shelf-life.

Q: Is the powder heat-stable for use in baked nutrition bars or granola clusters?

A: Phytosterols are remarkably heat-tolerant, retaining over 90 % integrity after short exposures up to 150 °C. For bars, incorporate the powder at 0.5–1 % of dough weight, keep bake cycles under 15 minutes and cool rapidly. Oxygen-barrier film then limits oxidative changes, yielding shelf-stable, heart-healthy snacks that deliver label-claim sterol levels without altering flavour or texture.
