Policosanol (polycosanol) in Dietary Supplements

What is Policosanol? Policosanol (polycosanol) is a mixture of fatty alcohols derived from the wax of honey bees. These active substances act to lower cholesterol levels by several mechanisms including blocking the formation of cholesterol in the liver. Well designed clinical trials have included short and long-term, randomized double-blind studies comparing Policosanol to a placebo as well as blind comparative trials versus statin drugs, fibrates, niacin and probucol. The results from the clinical studies involving nearly 30,000 total patients clearly demonstrates that Policosanol is one of the best known answers for fighting cholesterol levels and actively lowering them safely and effectively, whether we are talking about natural dietary supplements, herbal products or drugs.
