25 Apr 2017 --- Lipofoods, SLU, has launched its palm free Lipophytol phytosterol system, a highly concentrated, water-dispersible source of plant sterols in an easy-to-use format designed to support cardiovascular health. Phytosterols are steroid compounds derived from plants. Comparable to cholesterol in the structural behavior and functionality, phytosterols compete with cholesterol during absorption in the digestive system and can help decrease cholesterol uptake and lower cholesterol in the blood.
