What exactly is policosanol?
Policosanol is a group of natural compounds, such as octacosanol, that can be found in some dietary supplements that support cardiovascular health. It has been clinically demonstrated to help lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, while increasing the “good” HDL cholesterol. In addition, policosanol may provide secondary support for blood vessel (e.g., artery) integrity, blood flow, and blood pressure.
