Description

Campestanol is a plant-derived sterol that is structurally similar to cholesterol. It is found in various plants, including soy, alfalfa, and spinach. Campestanol has been investigated for its potential health benefits, particularly its anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. Its synthesis involves the reduction of campesterol, another plant sterol. Research suggests that campestanol may inhibit the growth of certain cancer cells and reduce inflammation in animal models. The potential role of campestanol in human health is being explored, but further research is needed to confirm its efficacy and safety.'

Bioavailability

ExcerptReferenceRelevance
" However, coadministration of FCP-3P4 at 25, 50, and 100 mg/kg resulted in a significant increase in apparent total body clearance (CL/F, where F is the bioavailability constant), apparent volume of distribution (V(d)/F), and oral absorption rate constant (k(a)) of [(3)H]cholesterol compared with controls."( Assessing plasma pharmacokinetics of cholesterol following oral coadministration with a novel vegetable stanol mixture to fasting rats.
