Kyowa Hakko Kogyo Co. has produced a tablet version of CSPHP®, its cholesterol-lowering food ingredient. This development follows the launch of a liquid version of CSPHP and will allow dietary supplement makers to make CSPHP-based cholesterol-lowering tablets or capsules for consumers to incorporate into their daily diet. CSPHP combines soy protein hydrolyzate and soy phospholipids to block the absorption of cholesterol in the intestine. CSPHP has also been shown to increase the production of healthy HDL cholesterol. As a food additive CSPHP is highly stable, retaining its properties even through high temperature food manufacturing processes. Because CSPHP can be added to proteins, lipids, starches and minerals, it can be used as an active health ingredient in a wide range of consumer-acceptable foods, drinks and dietary supplements.
