Campesterol (Cat No.: R048137) is a plant-derived phytosterol structurally similar to cholesterol, with the molecular formula C28H48O. Found in vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, and legumes, it plays a key role in lowering LDL cholesterol levels by competing with dietary cholesterol for absorption in the intestines. Campesterol is widely studied for its potential cardiovascular benefits and is often included in functional foods and dietary supplements. However, elevated blood levels in certain individuals may be linked to rare genetic lipid disorders like sitosterolemia.
