Review
Summary |
 Nature’s Way Sytrinol® is a natural supplement that is advertised to control cholesterol levels. This product is one of the many supplements promoted and manufactured by the company, Nature’s Way, which says to use simple ingredients in all of their products. According to the company website, Sytrinol® is effective for maintaining cholesterol and triglyceride levels already within the normal range, which makes us wonder if the product may be capable of reducing levels.
We will take a closer look at this product to determine what benefits it may provide, and if it appears capable of lowering high cholesterol levels.

| Ingredients at a Glance |
|
According to the company website, this product contains a single ingredient, which is a proprietary blend of Citrus and Palm Oil extracts. There are also several filler ingredients found in this supplement, all of which are posted online for consumer review.
We find there are many cholesterol supplements on the market that contain Palm Oil. However, this ingredient is fairly controversial, and while many claim that it may lower bad cholesterol levels, there are many others who say Palm Oil may be detrimental to our health.

| Ingredients in Focus |
|
Palm Oil is said to contain Oleic Acid, which is an essential fatty acid that is said to affect cholesterol levels in a good way. However, the World Health Organization (WHO) has released reports that indicate Palm Oil may also be bad for the heart and raise the risk of cardiovascular disease. Reports conducted in the United States and Europe support the WHO report. In retaliation, there have been reports initiated by members of the Palm Oil industry that provides conflicting results to the WHO.
Ultimately, it appears that at least some studies indicate that this ingredient may potentially harm health or promote the risk for heart disease. Many people may not wish to take that risk, especially when there are other options available on the market. We suggest looking into a product that contains Plant Sterols. This all-natural ingredient has not been shown to cause adverse side effects, and has been shown in clinical trials to reduce cholesterol levels by up to 40%.

| Website |
|
Currently, the company website does not mention any of the controversy surrounding the ingredient, Palm Oil. In fact, there is no cited research of any kind at all. We feel that people have a right to such information so that they may make an informed decision. In addition, the company site does not post any consumer reviews or testimonials to indicate that this supplement has been successful for past users. We wish to note that the product description of Sytrinol® merely states that it may maintain cholesterol levels, and does not say that it will reduce levels, so overall results may be very limited.

| Final Thoughts |
|
In the end, some people may have been attracted to Sytrinol®, since it contains simple ingredients, and is said to maintain cholesterol levels. However, many others may prefer a product that has actually been proven to reduce cholesterol levels and offers FDA-approved ingredients. Furthermore, due to the controversy surrounding one of the active ingredients, some people may wish to continue their product research.
Currently, Sytrinol® may be purchased for the reduced price of about $25. However, the company website does not currently have a checkout function, and individuals must buy from third-party retailers. In addition, there does not appear to be any sort of money-back guarantee posted on the company website. The more reputable manufacturers will usually extend this offer to ensure your satisfaction.
