Thursday January 27, 2005
SourceOne™ Global Partners has announced the commencement of clinical trials on their new product, Sytrinol.

Previous studies have revealed the heart-healthy benefits of phytosterols in lowering total and LDL cholesterol levels. Unfortunately, it has been noted that phytosterols only block the absorption of cholesterol acquired through food consumption and not the cholesterol made by the liver, which is usually the culprit of high cholesterol levels.
