Rice Policosanols are a family of aliphatic (non-ring) alcohols that
have diverse beneficial effects. The original Japanese research was based on
rice wax policosanols. The main policosanols are Octacosanol, Triacontanol,
Dotriacontanol, Tetracosanol, Hexacosanol, Tetratriacontanol,
Hexatriacontanol and Docosanol. Rice is the richest source of Docosanol.
Animal experiments have shown policosanols improve cholesterol metabolism
and reduce circulating triglycerides*. Octacosanol has been studied
for its effects on improving physical performance and reducing fatigue.
Docosanol protects the prostate gland and is considered a primary active
component of the herb Pygeum africanum, which is used to maintain prostate
health.
