Cholesterol powder is widely present in animals, especially in brain and nervous tissue, with high levels in kidney, spleen, skin, liver and bile. The solubility of Cholesterol is similar to that of fat, insoluble in water and soluble in solvents such as ether and chloroform. Cholesterol plays an important role in living organisms, being one of the components of cell membranes, as well as a precursor to anabolic hormones, bile acids and vitamin D. Cholesterol powder is particularly important for human health, but consuming too much may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
