POLICOSANOL 50/95
This product is not available at the moment
Policosanol contains a mixture of concentrated primary aliphatic alcohols extracted from sugar cane wax and is recognized as a cholesterol-lowering drug but previous studies reported that it could be helpful for reducing blood pressure as well.
Its main component is octacosanol. Octacosanol is a primary fatty alcohol, which has been studied for its potential benefits in treating patients with Parkinson's disease and has also been credited with the ability to inhibit the production of high cholesterol and prevent cardiovascular disease. Among other properties attributed to it are improving serum lipids, reducing oxidation of low density lipoproteins (LDL low density lipoproteins), decreasing platelet aggregation, as well as smooth muscle proliferation.
