Fayrefield said Reducol is a clinically proven coniferous sterol that lowers cholesterol levels. The range of products has been devised by Fayrefield’s new product team and will incorporate a selection of dairy drinks as well as spread and yoghurt options. The range will be available in the first half of 2005, with additional offerings being added in due course.


The launch follows a long period of research and development between Fayrefield and Forbes Medi-Tech.
