Policosanol, specifically 1-Octacosanol, is a type of higher aliphatic primary alcohol that is naturally found in various plants and their waxes, such as sugar cane, rice bran, apples, grapes, and beeswax . It is a mixture of long-chain alcohols with carbon chain lengths ranging from 24 to 34, with octacosanol (C28) being one of the primary components . Policosanol has gained attention for its potential health benefits, particularly in the areas of cardiovascular health and lipid metabolism.
As a nutraceutical, policosanol has been reported to exhibit several biological functions, including the reduction of lipid levels, anti-aging properties, tissue regeneration, and protection against various diseases such as diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, Parkinson's disease, inflammation, ulcers, and cancer . It is commonly used as a lipid-lowering agent and has been investigated for its role in energy metabolism and thermogenesis .
Research suggests that policosanol can help lower blood cholesterol levels when consumed at a rate of 5-20 mg/day . It is also being studied for its potential to improve insulin resistance and reduce the risk of type II diabetes . Furthermore, policosanol has been shown to activate brown adipose tissue (BAT) and improve liver metabolism, which can help prevent obesity and metabolic disorders
