A multitasking multivitamin?(names&claims)(Product/service evaluation)(Brief article)
"Worried about cholesterol? Well, now you can lower it," promises a TV ad for Centrum Cardio. The two-a-day, multivitamin/multi-mineral supplement contains phytosterols, natural ingredients derived from soybeans that "can lower cholesterol," the ad claims, and "may reduce the risk of heart disease" when taken with a diet that is low in saturated fat and cholesterol.

But can Centrum Cardio, which costs $16.99 for a two-month supply, really do that? Possibly, according to research by the Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database, an independent, evidence-based compendium that evaluates natural products for Consumer-ReportsHealth.org. The review of the supplement included evidence cited by a spokeswoman for Wyeth Consumer Health-care, which markets Centrum Cardio.
