Abstract

The present invention relates to novel compounds, vitamin supplements, diet pills, and methods for making the same. The vitamin supplements include one or more phytosterol esters, such as esters of sitosterol or stigmasterol, and/or one or more novel substiuted fructose compounds. The diet pills within the scope of the invention include antitrypsin, and may be combined with the vitamin supplements to provide diet vitamin supplements.
