Description

Potassium β-Sitosterol Sulfate (Kss) is a water-soluble potassium salt derivative of the plant sterol β-sitosterol. This compound is valued for its enhanced bioavailability and surfactant properties compared to its parent sterol. It serves as a critical active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and functional additive for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and personal care industries seeking natural, plant-based solutions.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of steroidal drugs and as an active ingredient in formulations targeting cholesterol management and prostate health.
• Nutraceutical Supplements: Incorporated into dietary supplements for its potential benefits in supporting cardiovascular and immune system health.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Functions as a skin-conditioning agent and emulsifier in creams, lotions, and serums due to its surfactant nature.
• Research & Development: Serves as a standard or reagent in biochemical and pharmacological research studies on plant sterols and their derivatives.
• Functional Food Additives: Can be used to fortify foods and beverages with bioactive plant sterol compounds.
