Supports Cardiovascular Health
Source Naturals
Policosanol, part of the
Cholesterol Rescue™
family of products, is a blend of compounds isolated from natural plant
waxes. Policosanol contains several long chain fatty alcohols, including
octacosanol, hexacosanol and triacontanol. Animal and
in-vitro
research has shown that these compounds may support the cardiovascular
system and inhibit lipid peroxidation as well as support macrophage
activity.

Suggested Use: 2 tablets, in the evening, for the first three months.
Thereafter, 1-2 tablets daily. Source Naturals recommends that a minimum of 15

that coQ10 levels in the body may be lowered by compounds that work on the same
metabolic pathway as policosanol.
