Plant sterols, phytosterols, are cholesterols-like compounds that are found mostly in vegetable oils, nuts and legumes. Phytosterols are not produced in the body, their sole source is diet. Phytosterols have the same function as cholesterol in the body. The advantage of phytosterols is that they don’t have the side effects associated with high cholesterol foods. Plant-based diet rich in phytosterols is known to reduce serum total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein (LDL), ‘bad’, cholesterol. In contrast, animal-based diet contributes to elevated serum cholesterol level.
Tocopherols (vitamin E): 268-436mg/kg (gamma-tocopherols make up 90% of total).
