After being forced to discontinue the sale of red yeast rice in the U.S., Pharmanex, Provo, UT, has launched what it calls a new and improved version of its dietary supplement Cholestin®. The updated formula features policosanol, a beeswax-based proprietary ingredient that is backed by extensive science—including numerous clinical trials—that documents its safety and effectiveness in maintaining normal cholesterol levels. The new Cholestin also introduces PoliSorb™, a proprietary softgel-based delivery system that ensures faster dissolution of the waxy policosanol compounds within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
