Sterols
Sterols (phytosterols in plant sources) are natural lipid compounds similar in structure to cholesterol. They have pronounced hypolipidemic, anti-inflammatory, and membrane-stabilizing properties. They help reduce "bad" cholesterol levels and support vascular health, immunity, and hormonal balance. In NSP products, they are used to normalize lipid metabolism and strengthen cell membranes.
Regular consumption of sterols contributes to:
- Lower LDL cholesterol levels.
- Strengthening the cardiovascular system.
- Maintaining hormonal balance.
- Reducing inflammation.
- Improving the condition of cell membranes.
- Supporting immunity.
Sterols include beta-sitosterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, and other natural lipids that compete with cholesterol for absorption in the intestines, thereby reducing its level in the blood. They strengthen cell membranes, protect blood vessels, and regulate immune responses. NSP products use them as natural regulators of fat metabolism and protectors of the cardiovascular system.
How it works
Phytosterols block the absorption of dietary cholesterol in the intestines, reducing its level in the bloodstream.
They strengthen blood vessel walls and reduce the risk of atherosclerotic changes.
They stabilize cell membranes, improving the resistance of cells to stress and damage.
They have an anti-inflammatory effect, reducing the activity of pro-inflammatory mediators.
They maintain hormonal balance by participating in the regulation of steroid hormone synthesis.
They improve the functioning of the immune system by modulating the functions of T cells and macrophages.
Traditionally used for lipid metabolism disorders, high cholesterol, vascular inflammation, hormonal imbalances, prostate enlargement (for beta-sitosterol), and decreased overall body tone.
In combination with components such as omega-3, coenzyme Q10, magnesium, curcumin, and antioxidants, sterols enhance the cardioprotective and anti-inflammatory effects of NSP complexes.
Beneficial properties of sterols
- They lower "bad" cholesterol levels.
- Strengthen blood vessels and improve blood circulation.
- They reduce inflammation.
- They support hormonal balance.
- Strengthen cell membranes.
- Support immunity.
Sterols in NSP complexes help normalize cholesterol levels, strengthen blood vessels, reduce inflammation, and support overall cellular protection. They are natural lipid regulators for cardiovascular and hormonal health.
