Beta Sitosterol

Beta sitosterol is a “phytosterol” or plant fat that has many benefits to your body, such as helping to decrease bad cholesterol levels.  Beta sitosterol has been shown to reduce the effects of DHT.  Researchers at the University of Rome found that beta sitosterol lowers DHT by reducing the binding of DHT to tissue receptors, as opposed to inhibiting DHT’s production.  This makes beta sitosterol a good complement to saw palmetto and other ingredients in Follicare®.

A study in the renowned medical journal Lancet, for instance, found that among 200 men with BPH those given beta sitosterol (20 mg three times a day for six months), showed significant improvements in urinary difficulties. In contrast, those men given a placebo reported no relief at all.
