policosanol-triglycerides

When both groups are subject to a diet catered to lower cholesterol, the addition of 10mg Policosanol is ineffective at further reducing cholesterol levels and markers of adiposity

Otherwise healthy adults with slightly elevated cholesterol levels given 20mg policosanol for 8 weeks failed to show any benefit on lipid biomarkers.

After a 6 week introduction to a lipid lowering diet, policosanol at 5-10mg daily for 12 weeks was significantly better than placebo on all parameters of lipid metabolism measured.

After introduction to a cholesterol lowering diet (all groups), policosanol was given at either 5 or 10mg daily depending on circulating cholesterol levels for 1 year. Significant improvements were seen in lipid metabolism in persons with cholesterol problems and hypertension, and reports of adverse cardiac events were lower in the policosanol group

Using authentic Cuban Cane sugar Policosanols, 21 persons had no reduction in blood lipid parameters after 10mg daily over a month
