Alfa Chemistry Allows Easy Access to Sterols for Scientific Research

Shortly after the launch of fatty acids and esters, glycerides, fatty alcohols, wax esters, and sphingolipids, the management of Alfa Chemistry decided to add sterols to its diversified product line of lipids. This move is made in response to the request of valued scientific customers as their interest in sterols has risen over the last decade. Like other forms of lipids and fatty acids, sterols exist extensively in nearly all species, including animals, green plants, and fungi. Evidence shows that stanol or sterol esters behave extraordinarily well in lowering the total and LDL cholesterol levels and, in some cases, help prevent heart diseases. In this sense, the health benefits brought by stanol-rich foods are beyond measure. “Sterols are referred to as phytosterols that present in the membranes of plants, and referred to as zoosterols and mycosterols in animals and microorganisms, respectively,” said one of the senior scientists from Alfa Chemistry. “Pharmaceutical lipid compounds like sterols, phospholipids, fatty acids, and ceramides are of high commercial interest.” According to current studies and research, sterols are widely used to prevent cardiovascular diseases, inhibit tumors, promote metabolism, and balance hormones. Prevention of cardiovascular diseasernTumor inhibitionrnMetabolism promotionrnHormonal balance All sterols provided by Alfa Chemistry are fast-delivered and are purposed to support research projects in multiple fields.
