Benefits of the Product

Policosanol is a mixture of alcohols extracted from wheat germ, sugar cane wax, yams, beeswax or rice bran. Over 30,000 clinical trials have concluded that this medication is safe and does not have many, if any, side effects. Policosanol is prescribed for those with high cholesterol and considered to be as safe and effective as consuming garlic. Octacosanol is the main ingredient in policosanol, other ingredients include triacontanol and hexacosanol. A health care professional should be consulted before using any new medications or supplements for cholesterol treatment.

Decrease in Low-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol
According to the American Heart Association, a decline in low-density lipoprotein, or LDL, cholesterol, also known as bad cholesterol, is good for health because when LDL cholesterol gets built up it leads to the formation of a thick plaque on the walls of the heart and brain. This can cause thinning and less flexible arteries, a condition known as atherosclerosis, as well as clot formation that may cause a heart attack or a stroke. Policosanol intake may reduce LDL cholesterol.

Increase in High-density lipoprotein Cholesterol
Policosanol causes an increase in HDL cholesterol. An increase in high-density lipoprotein, HDL, cholesterol is healthy because HDL is good cholesterol that moves cholesterol away from areas of the body that can form clogging or clots. It also moves the cholesterol to the liver so it can be passed. High levels of HDL also protect the body from heart attacks, according to the American Heart Association.

Policosanol Benefits

Policosanol
Policosanol can be withdrawn from sugar cane and from bees wax. The nutrient is a high potency form of sugar. It must be noted that it does not have an effect on blood sugar levels. The nutrient however, does decrease total cholesterol and lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol.

It raises the high density lipoprotein (HDL). Policosanol lowers cholesterol by slowing down the hepatic cholesterol absorption and it seems to increase the degradation of LDL. To summarize, this nutrient is known to raise the good cholesterol levels while lowering the bad cholesterol.

When taken orally, it is used to treat a number of conditions such as hypercholesterolemia, or intermittent claudication - cramping of muscles on exercise, but stops upon rest that usually occurs in the legs.

Policosanol is used to improve strength, stamina, and ones reaction times. The nutrient also treats herpes infections, inflammatory skin diseases, and Parkinson’s disease. It is also used in the treatment of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), hyper lipidemia, and atherosclerosis. It might also slow down the build up of lipids in fat tissue and increase the use of fat in the tissues.

The True Benefits of Policosanol
Significant numbers on various clinical trails show that Policosanol can lower a persons bad Cholesterol (LDL) by up to 20% and raise the beneficial cholesterol (HDL) by 10% in an individual.

This is done by obstructing the synthesis of cholesterol from the liver. Most people think most cholesterol comes from the diet, however, we have found out that the vast majority of cholesterol does not come from diet, but from our liver, which in fact, produces more than 80% of cholesterol.

As well as this, policosanol helps combat the formation of lesions in arterial walls, protecting against heart disease, and the nutrient also acts as an anti-coagulant, very like the medication known as aspirin.

Anti-coagulants help stop one forming blood clots. Such clots have often leaded to heart attacks and strokes.
