Can Policosanol Really Lower Cholesterol Naturally

Can Policosanol Really Lower Cholesterol Naturally
A high level of cholesterol means greater risk of acquiring heart diseases. Heart diseases are considered to be a “traitor” disease as there are no visible symptoms. The first heart attack would be the sign that a person has a heart disease. You are probably well aware of this fact and taking considerable effort to find the most effective way of lowering your cholesterol level. While statin drugs are clinically proven to lower cholesterol levels, these drugs also come with dangerous side effects. No wonder people are always on the look out for possible natural alternatives that can effectively lower cholesterol levels without hazardous side effects.
There is an effective natural treatment that is proven to lower cholesterol levels. This nutrient is called Policosanol-a bee’s wax and sugar cane wax extract. Policosanol is a high potency form of sugar. Numerous studies and trials that were done on this sugar cane wax extract have very positive results. It was found out that although Policosanol is a form of sugar, this nutrient does not affect the body’s sugar level. Policosanol can effectively and safely lower cholesterol levels. Studies conducted also touted the absence of harmful side effects.
Combined with other nutrients, Policosanol is more effective than statin drugs as a daily dose of 10 to 20 mg has a notable effect of lowering low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol up to 29%; increase high density lipoprotein (HDL) by 15% and therefore lower total cholesterol level up to 21%. LDL is the bad cholesterol and HDL is the useful cholesterol. Most people believe that cholesterol comes from the diet. Extensive studies however, showed that a big percentage of cholesterol does not result from food intake. 80% of the cholesterol is in fact produced by the liver. Policosanol lowers cholesterol by obstructing the production of cholesterol in the liver.
Some people hesitate using Policosanol as this nutrient is derived from sugar cane wax that could raise the blood sugar level. The effectiveness of this nutrient was ascertained by studies done on 30,000 users. Aside from lowering total blood cholesterol, it also lowers blood triglycerides. This formula includes CoQ10 which makes the heart muscles stronger without raising the level of blood sugar.
What is more appealing with this natural way of lowering cholesterol level is the price. A statin drug would cost you around $70 up to $100 per month. Imagine spending $100 every month for the rest of your life for statin drugs that has adverse side effects. A $30 budget per month spent on Policosanol would mean that you will be able to lower your cholesterol level the cheaper way without being bothered by possible side effects.
