All Natural Healthy Cholesterol with Policosanol(15mg) $7.99/60 vcaps
H&N HERBS' healthy cholesterol formula comprises Policosanol (from sugar cane). Only Policosanol from sugar cane has been shown in clinical studies to lower total cholesterol and LDL, and to raise HDL (good cholesterol).
Twenty years ago, Japanese scientists fed wax scraped from sugar cane leaves to rats and pigs. The animals' cholesterol levels fell. Then a Cuban team extracted the active ingredients, which is a mixture of fatty alcohols, from this wax. This mixture, called policosanol, seems to act like a combination of a cholesterol-lowering statin and aspirin.
Cholesterol, a fat like substance, is an essential component of all cellular membranes, and is required for cellular function and production of vital hormones. Too much cholesterol in the bloodstream leads to narrowing and blockage of the arteries that greatly increase the risk of stroke, coronary heart disease and heart attacks.
Policosanol is a unique natural product derived from sugar-cane wax. Research showed policosanol from sugar cane is effective at reducing cholesterol levels. Research also showed that policosanol reduces cardiac risk factors by inhibiting platelet aggregation, and inhibiting the development of atherosclerosis. A 2002 study published in the American Heart Journal reviewed clinical trials of sugar-cane derived policosanol that involved more than 3000 patients, and concluded that policosanol is 'a very promising phytochemical alternative to classic lipid-lowering agents such as statins'. About 30 million Americans are currently using statin drugs. In one study, patients who took a daily dose of 10mg of policosanol experienced a 17% drop in total cholesterol, a 25.6% drop in LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol), and a 28.4% rise in HDL cholesterol (good). These results suggest that policosanol is as effective as prescription drugs, without their side effects.
