Policosanol is one of the most promising nutritional supplements in recent history. It is a combination of long-chain fatty alcohols (no biological similarity to ethanol) that are isolated and refined from sugar cane wax (Saccharum officinarum). Octacosanol is the most important of these isolated alcohols, followed by seven other prominent high aliphatic (open-chain structure) alcohols. This unique extract was originally studied in Cuba as a cholesterol-lowering agent and is an approved treatment for high cholesterol in about two-dozen countries.

Policosanol appears to slow down cholesterol synthesis in the liver and increase liver re-absorption of low-density lipoproteins (LDL). Policosanol has also been shown to increase levels of high-density lipoproteins (HDL).

USER'S OPINION  

How It Works
In recent studies, Policosanol has been compared favorably to statin drugs, which are lipid-lowering drugs that reduce cholesterol levels by inhibiting an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of cholesterol. Statin drugs and Policosanol show similar performance with reducing LDL levels but and only Policosanol shows better performance with increasing HDL levels. Research is showing that high levels of HDL cholesterol may be the most important factor in protecting against cholesterol-induced arterial disease. GUARANTEE/SHIPPING INFORMATION
