Octacosanol
Policosanol (also Montanylalcohol, Policosanol, Koranylalcohol) is a a mixture of a few fatty alcohols derived from the waxes of such plants as rice bran and sugar cane, as well as beeswax.It contains about 60% octacosanol, followed by triacontanol.

Function
Enhances Stress Resistance: Sugar cane wax extract, rich in policosanol, can improve the body's ability to handle stress.
Boosts Reactive Sensitivity: Policosanol from sugar cane wax enhances responsiveness and reaction times.
Supports Cardiac Muscle Function: This extract is beneficial for improving heart muscle performance.
Reduces Cholesterol and Blood Metrics: Sugar cane wax policosanol helps lower cholesterol levels, blood lipids, and systolic blood pressure.
Increases Stamina and Vitality: The extract is known to boost stamina, energy levels, and overall physical strength.
Promotes Hormonal Balance and Muscle Relief: Policosanol aids in enhancing sex hormone functions and alleviating muscle pain.
Application
Cholesterol Management: Policosanol, a natural cholesterol-lowering compound derived from sugar cane wax, is both safe and well-tolerated, even among those taking multiple medications.
Lipid Profile Benefits: Policosanol has been shown to improve lipid profiles in various groups, including healthy individuals, those with type II hypercholesterolemia, type 2 diabetics with high cholesterol, postmenopausal women with hypercholesterolemia, and patients with both high cholesterol and abnormal liver function. Nonetheless, there is ongoing debate due to recent conflicting evidence.
Cardiovascular Health: This compound is used to address issues related to heart and blood vessel health, such as high cholesterol, leg pain from poor circulation (intermittent claudication), and narrowing of the coronary arteries.
Mechanisms of Action: Policosanol appears to reduce cholesterol production in the liver and increase the breakdown of LDL ("bad") cholesterol. Additionally, it reduces platelet aggregation, which can help lower the risk of blood clots.
