    Product Description

    Stigmasterol is a natural plant sterol that can be isolated from certain seed oils and herbs, including those used for therapeutic purposes.1,2 Dietary consumption of phytosterols, including stigmasterol, may have beneficial health effects in adults, particularly against cancer and ulceration.3,4,5 Alternatively, phytosterols may contribute to inflammation and intestinal failure-associated liver disease in young individuals.6

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
