Campesterol is a plant sterol, a naturally occurring compound structurally similar to cholesterol, found in vegetable oils, nuts, and seeds. It is usually present alongside other plant sterols like beta-sitosterol rather than isolated alone.
Why it’s used
Taken, typically as part of a mixed plant sterol blend, to support healthy LDL cholesterol levels.
What the evidence is for
supporting LDL cholesterol levels as part of mixed plant sterol intake.
What the evidence says
Regulatory bodies including EFSA have recognized that plant sterols and stanols, taken together at sufficient intake, can lower LDL cholesterol. This evidence applies to mixed sterol intake rather than campesterol in isolation, and campesterol alone has not been separately validated at a specific effective dose.
Dose studied
1500–2400 mg — total mixed plant sterol/stanol intake associated with LDL-lowering, per EFSA opinion.
Context
Cholesterol-lowering studies underlying regulatory claims used blends of plant sterols totaling around 1.5 to 2.4 grams per day, not campesterol as a standalone ingredient.
