Regulate The Cholesterol Levels Already Within The Normal Range!
Policosanol by Olympian labs helps slow down cholesterol synthesis in the liver and increases liver re-absorption of low-density lipoproteins (LDL). Policosanol has also been shown to increase levels of high-density lipoproteins (HDL).
This combination of long-chain fatty alcohols (no biological similarity to ethanol) that are isolated and refined from sugar cane wax (Saccharum officinarum), Policosanol is one of the most promising nutritional supplements in recent history.
Octacosanol is the most important of these isolated alcohols, followed by seven other prominent high aliphatic (open-chain structure) alcohols. This unique extract was originally studied in Cuba as a cholesterol-lowering agent and is an approved treatment for high cholesterol in about two-dozen countries.
What is Cholesterol?
Cholesterol is a fat-related substance necessary for good health. It is a normal component of most body tissues, especially those of the brain, nervous system, liver and blood and is needed to form the sex and adrenal hormones, vitamin D and bile; a digestive secretion required for fat digestion. A high level of blood cholesterol, however, increases the likelihood of developing health problems such as heart disease.
HDL, referred to as the “good” cholesterol, has the ability to clear built-up cholesterol from the arteries and help in its removal from the body. LDL, the 'bad' cholesterol, is linked to heart disease and is involved in the fatty build-up on artery walls known as atherosclerosis or “hardening of the arteries”. Recent research indicates that low HDL levels are a strong predictor of cardiovascular disease.
How Olympian Labs Policosanol Helps?
- Reduces the abundance of cells in the arteries by inhibiting the oxidation of LDL.
- Reduces cholesterol levels by inhibiting an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of cholesterol.
- Shows better performance with increasing HDL levels
- May protect against cholesterol-induced arterial disease.
- May be helpful for intermittent claudication, a disease characterized by severe occlusion of the arterial system in the lower part of the body.
- May “thin” the blood (or technically, impair platelet aggregation) to about the same extent as aspirin at a dose of 100 mg per day.
