Sterols as Anti-bacterial and Anti-Microbial

Studies are now showing that Beta-sitosterol has a variety of anti-microbial, anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal qualities. Japanese studies relate Beta-sitosterol to having anti-fungal properties and as effective against the Streptoccocus bacteria known as "strep." Studies are also reporting positive results in relation to being effective against both gram positive and gram-negative bacteria such as Streptoccocus, Staphaloccocus (staph), Eschericia coli (E. coli), as well as other bacteria.
