Stigmasterol is a chemical compound found in many plant fats. In addition to being found in plants, it is present in many animals which absorb it through their diets, and in animal products such as milk. For plants, stigmasterol plays a regulatory function. Humans utilizestigmasterol in a number of chemical processes which are designed to yield synthetics for the pharmaceutical industry.
Calabar beans, rapeseed, soybeans, cocoa beans, and nuts and seeds in general have a high concentration of stigmasterol. This compound can also be found in many other plants. It is part of a group of chemicals known as phytosterols.
