Core Sterol Technology
Forbes' scientific platform for its nutraceutical business is based on core sterol technology beginning with extraction of plant sterols from wood pulping by-products. Plant sterols, also known as phytosterols, are lipid-like compounds found in the cells and membranes of oil-producing plants, grains and trees. Based on this technology, Forbes has developed cholesterol-lowering ingredients for use in functional foods and dietary supplements.
Through these research initiatives, Forbes has targeted the Nutraceuticals market for developing cardiovascular related functional foods and dietary supplements.
