Policosanol to lower cholesterol
 

Author: VitaNet
More and more Americans are hearing from their doctors that their cholesterol levels are too high and the doctor says, 'I recommend that you go on cholesterol medication ASAP'. Later, after being on the doctor's prescription, you find out there are terrible side effects to the medication. If this sounds like you, then Policosanol might be the solution for you - with zero side effects. Policosanol is an all natural compound isolated from plant waxes or bees wax, but for today's discussion we are focusing only on plant based Policosanol.

Policosanol has had a consistent history of cholesterol reducing properties in all research done with animal and in-vitro. When administered 5 to 20mg/day, Policosanol has been shown to reduce Low-density Lipoprotein (LDL)(Bad Cholesterol) by 10% - 31% while increasing High-density Lipoprotein (HDL)(Good cholesterol) by 8% - 29%.1 When compared with statins, Policosanol shows comparable results at much lower doses and zero side effects.1 Those of you who have used statins in the past there is good news for your liver, Policosanol has shown antioxidant protective properties for the liver in high does 100mg+/kg per day. The liver is the only organ that can regenerate or repair its self. Policosanol has shown to promote the liver's regeneration process and deserves more research in this area.2

Besides the cholesterol lowering qualities of Policosanol, this compound can reduce platelet aggregation in the blood which may help prevent lipid or cholesterol build up in the cardiovascular system.

If your not convinced that Policosanol can lower cholesterol, there are certainly other options for addressing heart health and cholesterol levels, such as guggul, niacin, plant sterols, and Sytrinol all exhibit cholesterol-lowering abilities to varying extents. These are just a few suggestions to help you choose the right Supplement in managing your cholesterol levels.
