New Centrum vitamin.

Wyeth, Madison, NJ, has introduced Centrum Cardio complete multivitamin, which uses Corowise plant sterols to lower cholesterol. In combination with a healthy diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, Wyeth claims adults who take two tablets daily could see a drop in cholesterol numbers in as few as 4 weeks. Research indicates that plant sterols, natural compounds found in fruits, vegetables and other whole grains and vegetable oils, effectively lower cholesterol, which is a major risk factor for heart disease.
