oil, nuts, avocados and prepared foods, such as salad dressings.β-sitosterol is being studied for its potential to reduce benign prostatic hyperplasia and blood cholesterol levels.High levels of β-sitosterol concentrations in blood have been correlated with increased severity of heart disease in men having previously suffered from heartattacks.Genetic disorder:While plant sterols are usually beneficial, there is a rare autosomal recessive. genetic disorder: phytosterolemia which causes over-absorption of phytosterols.Precursor of anabolic steroid boldenone,Being a steroid, β-sitosterol is precursor of anabolic steroid boldenone.
