CHOLESTEROL-INTERACTING LAYERED PHYLLOSILICATES AND METHODS OF REDUCING HYPERCHOLESTEREMIA IN A MAMMAL

Layered phyllosilicates are useful for adsorbing and/or binding to cholesterol and, thereby, reducing blood cholesterol in a patient. Accordingly, provided herein is a hydrogen protonated layered phyllosilicate material for use in a method of decreasing the solubility of cholesterol in the gastroint...
