Abstract
The present invention is directed to nanoparticulate compositions comprising one or more polycosanols. The polycosanol particles of the composition have an effective average particle size of less than about 2000 nm. In another aspect of this invention, novel combinations of polycosanols and other cholesterol lowering agents are described and methods of using same are taught.
