Description
Healthy heart and good cholesterol levels
Solgar Policosanol is a blend of oils derived from the waxy coating of Cuban sugarcane and may help lower cholesterol levels by inhibiting the formation of cholesterol in your liver. In fact, some studies have shown that cholesterol can improve your health by helping maintain the health of several interdependent organs and systems, including your heart, blood vessels, nervous system, thyroid, liver, and digestive tract. In each dose of this Solgar, you'll get 20 mg of Policosanol, standardized to 90 % aliphatic alcohols intended to help lower "bad" total and LDL cholesterol for heart, circulatory, and overall health.

How does it work?
Although research has not yet identified the exact mechanism of Policosanol's actions, it is believed that it speeds up the breakdown of your LDL cholesterol by the liver, blocks the activity of an enzyme involved in cholesterol production, reduces the clumping of platelets to reduce the activity of an ester transfer protein that helps raise your "good" HDL cholesterol and lower your LDL cholesterol levels.
