Healthy cholesterol with Policosanol from sugar cane. Only Policosanol from sugar cane has been shown in clinical studies to lower total cholesterol and LDL, and to raise HDL (good cholesterol). Research showed policosanol from sugar-cane is effective at reducing cholesterol levels, and reducing cardiac risk factors by inhibiting platelet aggregation, and inhibiting the development of atherosclerosis. A 2002 study published in the American Heart Journal reviewed numerous clinical trials of sugar-cane derived policosanol that involved more than 3000 patients, and concluded that policosanol is a very promising phytochemical alternative to classic lipid-lowering agents such as statins. In one study, patients who took a daily dose of 10 mg of policosanol experienced a 17% drop in total cholesterol, a 25.6% drop in LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol), and a 28.4% rise in HDL cholesterol (good). *The FDA has not evaluated these statements.
