α-Spinasterol is a plant-derived sterol found in several plants, including spinach and sesame seeds. It has been studied for its potential cholesterol-lowering effects, as it may inhibit cholesterol absorption in the intestine, contributing to a reduction in blood cholesterol levels. α-Spinasterol also exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, making it of interest in preventing cardiovascular diseases and other inflammatory conditions. Research is ongoing to explore its broader health benefits and therapeutic potential in managing metabolic disorders.
