Policosanol Supplement: A Natural Way to Lower Cholesterol
© 2005, Frank Mangano
Quickly becoming a popular nutritional supplement, policosanol has been studied extensively and shows great promise for people who want to lower cholesterol as quickly and effectively as prescription drugs, but without the side effects. Policosanol is a natural substance derived from sugar cane alcohols, primarily octacosanol.
Double blind clinical studies with placebos have been used to determine just how effective policosanol is at lowering cholesterol. In one study of 437 high cholesterol sufferers, the results showed a significant reduction in cholesterol levels after just 12 weeks. The group taking policosanol had a 25% reduction in LDL cholesterol and lowered total cholesterol by 17%. Another benefit found in the study of policosanol is that it seems to reduce the number of cells that gather within the arteries. One of the problems with high cholesterol levels is that its causes plaque to build up in the arteries which can lead to stroke or heart attack. By reducing the number of cells in the arteries, there is less likelihood of dangerous build up.
Millions of people needing to lower cholesterol in other countries have been using policosanol for years. It has just recently been introduced into U.S. markets and is quickly finding its niche. The efficacy and safety of the product have made it a viable alternative to statin drugs. It has even been combined in clinical trials with antidepressants, NSAIDS, and thyroid hormones, among other common drugs, and revealed no problematic drug interactions.
Supplements are only one way to help lower cholesterol. The most effective way is through a low cholesterol diet, exercise and properly balanced nutrition which includes plenty of green leafy vegetables and whole grain foods. To control cholesterol naturally and without negative side effects you can adopt the simple to follow plan outlined in The 60 Day Prescription Free Cholesterol Cure.
