Question: from Beth

Warren: I have been taking your products for over three years now and I love them, of course.  I do take the Cholest-Natural when necessary.  I was sent the following information in a recent email and I would like your comment on this product called Cholesterblock which uses plant sterols (mainly soy) to control high cholesterol.  Here is the website:

Answer: from Warren

Hmm...this company and product has all the hallmarks of a scam!

1. They do not identify themselves.
2. They do not reveal any of the actual ingredients other than in general terms.
3. They state that diet has no impact at all.
4. They infer that the product has had clinical studies which is not true.  The studies they refer to are isolated studies relating to sterols which have no direct relationship to this product.
5. The page in which the credit card details are placed when ordering is not a secure page even though they claim it to be.  Their secure certificate expired last year.

You can see some comments on this product at this link.

Also the FDA has issued a warning letter to them

Best to stick to our Cholest-Natural when you have the need Beth!  You know what you are getting!
