HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Cholesterol Formula With Sytrinol by Natural Factors

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • “Sytrinol” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (150 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This formula has 3 active ingredients. The main one is Sytrinol, a blend of natural citrus polymethoxylated flavones and palm tocotrienols — compounds extracted from citrus and palm that some research suggests may help with cholesterol.

The other actives are SterolSource plant sterols, which are cholesterol-like compounds from plants thought to support heart health. The capsule also contains inactive ingredients: gelatin, rice powder, silica, and magnesium stearate, which are standard fillers and binders.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Tocotrienols's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: cholesterol support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Hypercholesterolemia, Metabolic syndrome, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular health.
  • The closest evidence on file: Tocotrienols is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Hypercholesterolemia (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Tocotrienols is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Metabolic syndrome.

The evidence here is mixed. Tocotrienols show possibly effective rating for diabetes, but possibly ineffective for high cholesterol — so if cholesterol is your main goal, the research doesn't back this ingredient strongly for that.

For alopecia areata (a hair-loss condition) and breast cancer, we don't have enough reliable evidence to say whether tocotrienols help. The effectiveness of the other two active ingredients in this formula isn't rated in our data.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Tocotrienols

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Tocotrienols are generally well tolerated in studies, though long-term safety at supplement doses isn't fully established. When taken by mouth, no adverse effects were reported in clinical trials.

The safety data advises against supplemental tocotrienols during pregnancy. While breastfeeding, there isn't enough information to know whether it's safe — talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it if you're nursing.

We don't have pregnancy or breastfeeding safety data on file for the other two active ingredients in this formula.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Tocotrienols

Meds to double-check

Minor interactions only
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Minor only

Only Minor-severity interactions are documented for these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Tocotrienols.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Minor.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 122 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check any blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel, or dabigatran) before taking this product — tocotrienols may slightly increase bleeding risk, though this hasn't been reported in actual patients. If you're unsure whether your medication is a blood thinner, use the search tool on this page to verify.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Only minor medication interactions are documented, and safety information is well characterized.

Consider this if you're looking for a plant-based cholesterol support formula and don't take blood thinners. If you're on any anticoagulant or antiplatelet medication, check with your pharmacist first — there's a theoretical bleeding risk, even though it hasn't been seen in people.

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Concomitant use of tocotrienols with anticoagulant or antiplatelet agents might increase the risk of bleeding. However, this has not been reported in humans.
Taking tocotrienols orally inhibits experimentally-induced platelet aggregation in humans. Theoretically tocotrienols might increase the risk of bleeding if taken with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs. However, tocotrienols 400-800 mg daily have been used with aspirin and/or clopidogrel for 1 year with no clear cumulative antiplatelet effects and no reports of bleeding.

Cholesterol Formula With Sytrinol by Natural Factors: Common Questions

Does Cholesterol Formula With Sytrinol by Natural Factors interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Cholesterol Formula With Sytrinol has a known interaction with 122 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Cholesterol Formula With Sytrinol contains 3 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Does this actually help with high cholesterol?
The tocotrienol ingredient is rated possibly ineffective for high cholesterol in our data, so the research doesn't strongly support it for that goal. The citrus flavones and plant sterols may work differently, but we don't have effectiveness ratings for those.
Can I take this if I'm on a blood thinner like warfarin?
Tocotrienols might increase bleeding risk in theory, though it's never been reported in humans. Don't start this without checking with your pharmacist first — they can look up your exact medication and tell you whether it's safe for you.
Is it safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against supplemental tocotrienols during pregnancy. While breastfeeding, there isn't enough information — talk with your doctor before using it. We have no pregnancy or breastfeeding data on the other two active ingredients.
What are plant sterols and why are they in here?
Plant sterols are cholesterol-like compounds from plants that some people believe support heart health. They're included in formulas like this one that aim to support cholesterol levels, though we don't have an effectiveness rating for them in our data.
Are there any common side effects?
When taken by mouth, tocotrienols don't show any adverse effects in clinical trials. We have no side-effect data on the citrus flavones or plant sterols in this formula.
