Potential of Plant Sterols in Nutraceuticals
Plant sterols have potential health benefits, which has led them to be increasingly used in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries. The increased demand for nutraceuticals among the consumers, is thus, driving the global phytosterol market. Phytosterols possess innumerable beneficial therapeutic properties. Hence, the concept of utilizing phytosterols as nutraceuticals is gradually emerging and gaining considerable interest. There is increasing evidence for phytosterol's role in preventing major chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancers, and type-II diabetes. In addition, phytosterols act as powerful antioxidants by providing remarkable protection against oxidative and free-radical damage.
