Free from: GMO, maize, soy, yeast, gluten, lactose, added saccharose, gelatine, animal products, preservatives, artificial colouring & flavouring agents, artificial odours. DESCRIPTION Policosanol is a natural product & helps to lower high levels of cholesterol. Biochemically, policosanol is a mixture of long-chain alcohols; the chain length varies from 24 to 34 carbon atoms. The vast majority of scientific studies of policosanol has been conducted with policosanol from sugarcane, derived from its wax-like coating. The major alcohols in the policosanol mixture from sugarcane are octacosanol (60-65%), hexacosanol (6-7%) & triacontanol (12%); the remaining 15% mainly consists of eicosanol, nonacosanol, dotriacontanol, tetratriacontanol & heptacosanol. Policosanol from other sources (like wheat-germ oil of beeswax) contains other percentages & is much less effective. Policosanol helps to lower increased levels of cholesterol & has beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system. It protects cholesterol against oxidation & has a beneficial effect on the LDL-, HDL- & total cholesterol levels. It is beneficial for blood viscosity & it keeps blood vessels clean & supple. Most important features of Bonusan Policosanol:      Original policosanol from sugarcane      Proper ratio of different alcohols in the policosanol mixture     10 mg per capsule USE Take 1 to 2 capsules a day, during or immediately after a meal.
