Vitasterol® S-80

Vitasterol S-80® is Kensing’s plant-based phytosterol ester solution developed for heart health applications in supplements and functional foods. It is designed to support cholesterol management through a well-established mechanism: phytosterols compete with cholesterol for absorption in the digestive tract, reducing the amount of cholesterol that enters the bloodstream and supporting lower LDL-cholesterol levels.

From a technical and efficacy standpoint, phytosterols have been shown to deliver a repeatable, dose-dependent effect. A daily intake of 1.5–3 g plant sterols is associated with a 7–12% reduction in total and LDL-cholesterol within 2–3 weeks, making Vitasterol S-80® a strong option for formulations targeting cardiovascular support. The ingredient platform is also supported by 140+ clinical studies and can be used as a statin-free solution or as a complement alongside cholesterol-lowering strategies.

Vitasterol S-80® is suited for a broad range of delivery systems, including dietary supplements, dairy and plant-based alternatives, milk-type products, yogurt-type products, spreads, and dressings or sauces. This versatility allows formulators to build heart-health products across multiple categories while maintaining strong scientific positioning.
