HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Beta-Sitosterol 113 mg by BIOVEA
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Low disclosure
This tablet delivers 5 ingredients total, centered on beta-sitosterol, a plant sterol. The product also contains campesterol, brassicasterol, and stigmasterol — other plant sterols that work alongside beta-sitosterol — plus a plant sterol complex blend.
Inactive ingredients (tricalcium phosphate, microcrystalline cellulose, vegetable magnesium stearate, stearic acid, silica, titanium dioxide, and confectioners glaze) bind and coat the tablet.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Beta-sitosterol is likely effective for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) — an enlarged prostate — and possibly effective for familial high cholesterol (a genetic form of high cholesterol) and coronary heart disease. The evidence we hold doesn't establish effectiveness for other uses.
If you're considering this supplement for a specific condition, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist to see if the evidence supports your goal.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Beta-sitosterol is generally well tolerated when used short-term in adults. The most common side effects reported are constipation, diarrhea, gas, indigestion, and nausea.
A few people have reported appetite loss or acne, and there's one case report of acute pancreatitis that started on the first day of use but didn't return after stopping. Avoid this supplement during pregnancy and breastfeeding — there isn't enough safety data in either case.
Check with your healthcare provider before you start, especially if you have any stomach or pancreas concerns.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the checked components of this product. We were unable to check campesterol, brassicasterol, and stigmasterol, so mention this supplement to your doctor or pharmacist and run your medications through the checker on this page before you start.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
This product is a good fit if you're managing an enlarged prostate or have high cholesterol and want to try a plant-sterol approach, backed by decent evidence. Watch out for stomach upset — gas, diarrhea, or nausea can happen.
Steer clear if you're pregnant or breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist to make sure it's right for your situation.
