For the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostatitis, a typical dose is 60 to 130 mg of beta-sitosterol divided into two to three oral daily doses.
For hypercholesterolemia, the usual dose is 800 mg to six grams per day divided and given before meals.
For androgenic alopecia (alopecia areata), 50 mg twice daily combined with saw palmetto 200mg twice daily has been used.
Beta-sitosterol is typically given in conjunction with a low-fat diet. One supplier suggests that doses should be taken at least thirty minutes, but not more than nintey minutes, before meals for maximum effect on cholesterol absorption. *
