Pine-derived phytosterols are natural sterols extracted via solvent fractionation from tall oil or wood distillates. The primary constituents include beta-sitosterol, campesterol, and stigmasterol. Common molecular formulas range from C29H50O to C28H48O, with specific CAS numbers like 83-46-5 for beta-sitosterol.
Store in cool, dry environments below 25°C to prevent oxidation. Avoid inhalation of dust; use PPE during handling. Clinical use requires medical supervision due to potential drug interactions affecting statin efficacy.
