Description Phytosterols (also called plant sterols) are a group of steroid alcohols, phytochemicals naturally occurring in plants. Phytosterols occur naturally in small quantities in vegetable oils, especially sea buckthorn oil, corn oil, and soybean oil. Phytosterol is found in many foods, some of which are topping, brussel sprouts, rosemary, and sesame.
