Phytosterols are found in most plants in low concentrations. The foods with higher concentrations include nuts and legumes, oranges, bananas, beetroot and brussel sprouts. Those with exceptionally higher concentrates include rice bran, corn, wheat germ and flax seed. If your cholesterol levels are within the normal range, and you're in good health, regular intake of these foods should be a sufficient amount of phytosterols to aid in maintaining good health. Should you have high cholesterol or an enlarged prostate, or suffer from joint inflammation, you may wish to consult your physician about taking a phytosterol supplement.

Beta sitosterol, a specific phytosterol compound, has been shown to reduce symptoms brought on by an enlarged prostate. This same compound is thought to reduce joint inflammation by regulating the synthesis of cytokines. There are also studies that indicate phytosterols may inhibit the growth of cancer cells.
