Phytosterols, or plant sterols, are found in cell membranes of plants and are structurally similar to cholesterol in human body. While cholesterols get absorbed in the blood and increase the level of cholesterol in human bodies, phytosterols are not absorbed by the body. In fact, phytosterols prevent cholesterol from being absorbed by the body, thus reducing the level of triglyceride in the human body.

The rising incidences of deaths due to cardiovascular diseases are one of the prime drivers of the phytosterols market.
