Rapeseeds Phytosterol

What Is Rapeseeds Phytosterol?

Rapeseeds Phytosterol is a naturally occurring plant sterol that can be extracted from rapeseed oil, seaweed and shellfish. It is a compound with multiple physiological activities and has been shown to inhibit the activity of sterol 24-reductase, an enzyme that plays a role in the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway in mammals. In addition, rapeseed sterol is also an important raw material for the production of steroidal drugs and vitamin D3. It is a triterpene with a structure similar to cholesterol but with multiple physiological activities. It is almost insoluble in water, but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, ether and chloroform. It has multiple biological activities and has anti-inflammatory and cardiovascular prevention effects.

What Is The Source?

Rapeseed oil

Rapeseed oil is one of the important sources. Rapeseed oil contains a variety of plant sterols, and the plant sterol content in rapeseed oil is relatively rich.

Rapeseed

Rapeseed is the raw material of rapeseed oil, and it also contains rapeseed sterols. Rapeseed is rich in a variety of ingredients that are beneficial to the human body. And the plant sterols in rapeseed can be used for various purposes after processing and extraction, such as research in health products or medicine.

Other vegetable oils

It is also distributed in other vegetable oils, such as rice oil, corn oil and other vegetable oils. It is one of the common members of the plant sterol family in vegetable oils.

What Are The Health Benefits?

Lowering cholesterol

It can reduce blood cholesterol levels by inhibiting cholesterol absorption, promoting its metabolic degradation, and inhibiting cholesterol biochemical synthesis, thereby helping to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Preventing cardiovascular disease

Due to its cholesterol-lowering effect, rapeseed sterol may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Anti-inflammatory

It has a strong anti-inflammatory effect on the human body, can inhibit the body's absorption of cholesterol, promote cholesterol degradation metabolism, and inhibit cholesterol biochemical synthesis, promote wound healing, and enhance capillary circulation.

Antioxidant

It achieves antioxidant effects by scavenging free radicals, reducing oxidative stress, and protecting cell membranes, helping to protect cells from oxidative damage

Regulating the immune system

It also plays an important role in regulating immunity, promoting wound healing, muscle hyperplasia, and enhancing capillary circulation.

Skin care

It has a high permeability to the skin, can maintain moisture on the skin surface, promote skin metabolism, inhibit skin inflammation, prevent sunburn erythema, skin aging, and has the effect of hair growth and nourishing hair.

Regulate blood lipids

It can inhibit cholesterol absorption, thus helping to lower blood cholesterol levels. Just like in the passage from the intestine to the blood, rapeseed sterol and "bad" cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol) look a bit like each other, and they will compete for the opportunity to enter the blood. Due to the presence of rapeseed sterol, the absorption of "bad" cholesterol can be reduced by more than half.

Positive Effects On Blood Lipids

Lowering cholesterol

Rapeseeds Phytosterol can reduce blood cholesterol levels by competitively inhibiting the absorption of cholesterol in the intestine. Specifically, phytosterols are similar in structure to cholesterol and can occupy the position of cholesterol and reduce the absorption of cholesterol.

Preventing cardiovascular disease

By lowering blood cholesterol levels, it helps prevent cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis. Lowering cholesterol is one of the important measures to prevent cardiovascular disease.

Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant

It also has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, which can reduce inflammatory responses and protect cells from oxidative damage, thereby further maintaining cardiovascular health.

In What Fields Is It Used?

Food field

Rapeseeds Phytosterol can be added to various foods as a natural nutritional supplement, such as milk, yogurt, juice, etc. As people's demand for healthy food increases, as a member of the plant sterol family, it can provide consumers with more healthy choices with its functions such as regulating blood lipids and anti-oxidation. For example, adding it to the research and development of some functional foods can increase the nutritional value of the product and meet the needs of specific groups of people (such as those with high blood lipids).

In oil products, it can play an antioxidant role. In oils such as rapeseed oil, its presence helps to improve the stability of oils and extend the shelf life of oils. This is of great significance for the production, storage and sales of oils, reducing problems such as rancidity caused by oxidation of oils and ensuring the quality of oils.

Health care products field

In health care products, it can be used to regulate blood lipids. For people with dyslipidemia, taking health care products containing rapeseed sterol can help lower blood cholesterol levels and improve blood lipid conditions. This is based on the principle that rapeseed sterol inhibits cholesterol absorption in the body, and regulates blood lipids by reducing the absorption of cholesterol in the intestine.

It has antioxidant properties and can help remove free radicals in the body and reduce the damage of oxidative stress to the body in health products. At the same time, its possible immunomodulatory effect also makes it have potential application value in enhancing immunity.

Medical field

In the medical field, it can be used to treat diseases related to high cholesterol such as hypercholesterolemia. By inhibiting the absorption of cholesterol and reducing the cholesterol content in the blood, it can reduce the damage of high cholesterol to blood vessels and other organs and prevent the occurrence of complications such as cardiovascular diseases. Although it may not completely replace drug treatment, it can be used as an auxiliary treatment method in combination with other drugs or treatments.
