Policosanol the natural way to optimize LDL

Naturally Promoting Healthy Cholesterol Levels

Some 179 patients aged 60-78 years with high cholesterol and high risk for heart disease participated in a 30 week trial. When patients were treated with 5 mg per day of policosanol for 12 weeks, LDL cholesterol dropped 17 percent and total cholesterol decreased 13 percent. Levels of beneficial HDL cholesterol rose 14 percent. When policosanol intake was increased to 10 mg per day the results were even more impressive: LDL dropped 24 percent, total cholesterol decreased 16 percent and HDL rose a whopping 29 percent.
Facts About Policosanol

Policosanol is a mixture of organic compounds called aliphatic alcohols derived from sugar cane wax.1 The most prevalent alcohol in the sugar cane wax is octacosanol, which has been shown is clinical trials to dramatically support normal cholesterol levels. Some studies have shown that the other aliphatic alcohols present, such as triacontanol, and hexacosanol may also play a supporting role in optimal balance between HDL and LDL cholesterol. 1 Best of all, policosanol does this without the side effects of drugs. Unlike statin drugs, policosanol does not interfere with the body's production of CoQ10.

Studies show that Policosanol supports cholesterol health by inhibiting the liver's production of LDL ("bad") and raising HDL ("good") levels. 1 2 3 Policosanol's unique characteristic of maintaining already healthy LDL cholesterol levels and also helping to raise HDL cholesterol levels at the same time. 3 4 is what makes it particularly important among cholesterol helpers.

Researchers have also studied the blood-thinning effects of policosanol in both healthy people and those high cholesterol. A double-blind randomized trial assigned either 20 mg, 40 mg of policosanol or placebo for 30 days to participants. Those receiving policosanol at either level experienced a health-promoting, blood-thinning effect.
8 No such effect has yet reported using only 10 mg of policosanol per day.

A number of studies have demonstrated that policosanol provides similar, often superior, benefits to those of cholesterol lowering drugs. When policosanol and the drug pravastatin were tested side-by-side in an eight- week study in 69 adults, policosanol reduced total cholesterol by 14 percent and LDL by 19 percent. HDL levels also increased 18 percent. and triglycerides drooped 14 percent. Policosanol also slightly lowered blood pressure. Pravastatin reduced total cholesterol but by less - 12 percent. LDL reduction was also less with pravistatin - 16 percent. Most important of all, pravistatin failed to benefit two of the most important predictive factors for heart disease - HDL and triglyceride levels.

Inhibiting Platelet Clotting

Unwanted blood clots can lead to heart attacks, stroke or life-threatening embolism. For this reason, helping to keep blood "thin" (that is, reducing its clotting tendency) has many advantages. One of the ways to keep blood "thinner" is to inhibit the natural tendency of platelets to clot. Policosanol has been found to inhibit platelet clotting naturally. Policosanol appears to thin blood without increasing bleeding time.

Improving Exercise Endurance in Heart Disease and Intermitter Claudication Patients

Policosanol improves the exercise response in patients with coronary artery disease. Policosanol taken at 1 20 mg does for two years increased walking distance and improved symptoms caused by poor circulation. It also increased the ankle-to-arm pressure index in patients with intermitter claudication.

Policosanol has been found to be very safe and extremely well tolerated over many years of consumption. Toxicity tests in rats, using 1,724 times the human does showed no toxicity. Note that policosanol contains none of the sugar found in sugar cane and is safe and beneficial for diabetics
