This popped up a few days ago. Looks like they are jumping on the FF antiplatelet bandwagon.

Development of the whole tomato and olive-based food supplement enriched with anti-platelet aggregating nutrients
Abstract
Background
Platelet dysfunctions are shared by cardiovascular diseases and a wide range of inflammatory diseases.
Aims
To determine the ability of a new whole tomato-based food supplement (WTBFS) containing carotenoid and olive polyphenols to inhibit platelet aggregation.
Methods
Aggregation was evaluated in platelet-rich plasma using microtiter plates and a plate reader.
It's behind a pay wall, but uses three of our publications as references.
