Policosanol is a chemical obtained from sugar cane and other sources.

Policosanol is used for many conditions, but so far, there isn’t enough scientific evidence to determine whether or not it is effective for any of them.

Policosanol is used for conditions that affect the health of the  heart  and  blood vessels including high cholesterol, leg pain due to poor circulation (intermittent claudication), and narrowing of the blood vessels that serve the heart.

How does it work?

Policosanol seems to decrease cholesterol production in the liver and to increase the break down of LDL (low-density lipoprotein or "bad") cholesterol. It also decreases the stickiness of particles in the blood known as platelets, which might help reduce blood clots.

Appications:

·         High cholesterol.

·         Reducing Inherited high cholesterol 

·         Leg pain due to poor blood circulation 

·         Increasing blood flow to the heart in people with coronary heart disease.
