Beta Sitosterol is the basis, along with other plant sterols, food, supplements and pharmaceutical preparations aimed at the reduction of excess cholesterol, because it inhibits the absorption of cholesterol from the intestine, replacing the same and going to take his place in cell membranes.
This combined with plant sterol extract of Saw palmetto is found to be active against baldness androgenetic type in a famous U.S. study of 2002 (see the link below).
This type of action is due to the structure of the molecule of Beta Sitosterol, which makes it similar to a progestogen-17 replaced and also a weak estrogen (and therefore function with anti-estrogen) and is considered able to bind both the enzyme 5 alpha reductase (both kinds) that the androgen receptor thereby preventing the conversion of testosterone to the more harmful DHT (dihydrotestosterone) which is responsible for increased seborrhea and acne (and androgenetic alopecia) and making it more difficult, however, the binding of same androgen with its receptor.

It is precisely this type of enzyme is in fact abundant in sebaceous glands and was also identified as a major cause of acne.
The same green tea affects this process with the increase in SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin), making it unavailable to the transformation of testosterone into DHT.
EGCG also reduces the excess of cyclooxygenase (COX-2) which is implicated in cancers such as prostate and influences on the expression of PSA (or prostate-specific antigen) that is involved in various processes of cancer, including metastasis.
Regulates genes involved in lipid oxidation and the creation of adipose tissue, insulin resistance and lowering blood glucose and thus proving to be an effective treatment for the prevention of diabetes and obesity.
