🌱Phytoesterols are a group of plant-derived compounds that have a chemical structure similar to cholesterol. They are also known as plant sterols or stanols.

🌱Phytoesterols are naturally present in a variety of plant-based foods, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds.
Phytoesterols have been found to have a number of health benefits.
🌱They can help to lower cholesterol levels by blocking the absorption of cholesterol in the digestive system. This may reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.
🌱In addition to their cholesterol-lowering properties, phytoesterols have also been studied for their potential to reduce inflammation, improve immune function, and protect against certain types of cancer.

🌱There is a need for more meta-analysis to understand the factors associated with the lipid-lowering effect of PS. This would help elucidate the variability in LDL-C reduction documented in previous studies.
