Policosanol description：

Policosanol is the generic term used for a mixture of long-chain primary aliphatic saturated alcohols. These alcohols are derived from the waxes of such plants as sugar cane (Saccharum officinarium) and yams (e.g. Dioscorea opposita). They are also found in beeswax. The mainlong-chain alcohol in policosanol is the 28 carbon 1-octanosol, and next most abundant is the 30 carbon 1-triacontanol. Other long-chain alcohols present in much lower concentrations are: 1-docosanol (C22), 1-tetracosanol (C24), 1-hexacosanol (C26), 1-heptacosanol (C27), 1-nonacosanol (C29), 1-dotriacontanol (C32) and 1-tetracontanol (C34). These long-chain alcohols are solid waxy substances and are soluble in water. They are known collectively as fatty alcohols.

Octacosanol description：

Octacosanol is a 28 carbon long-chain saturated primary alcohol. Pharmacokinetic studies have been performed on octacosanol, the major alcohol in policosanol, in experimental animals and human volunteers. With excellent effectiveness of reducing LDL type cholesterol, octacosanol has been widely using in health foods or drink and cosmetics.

Why Dofly’s Policosanol：

Sugar cane proved to be the best choice for Policosanol since its high purity and good pharmaceutical function than the other kind of waxes. Benefit from the suitable climate and geographical environment, Guangxi province has been the main production area of sugar cane in China. Heli Group locates its plants in Guangxi Province and only purchases high quality sugar cane wax from its long-cooperated suppliers. Plus advanced Policosanol production process with owned patents, Heli Group gets two invention patents of Policosanol. It is one of the best Policosanol producers in China.
