“Owing to the significant expense of statin therapy, as well as to the potential for dangerous side effects that mandates regular physician follow-up…a comparable regimen, in which policosanol is used in place of statins, may represent a practical strategy.

Nearly everyone using policosanol and willing to commit to health-protective eating can either prevent coronary disease, or prevent pre-existing coronary disease from progressing to a life-threatening event.”

Policosanol is exceptionally safe

• Numerous clinical trails show that elderly persons, diabetics and those with liver damage can safely take Policosanol.

• Studies show that Policosanol DOES NOT affect blood thinning and there is no interaction between Policosanol and blood-thinning medication such as warfarin.

• In short and long-term clinical studies, policosanol has been simultaneously employed with calcium antagonists,  beta-blockers and diuretics without evidence of clinically relevant adverse interactions. 

• NASAIDs, anti-depressants,  digoxin, warfarin, thyroid hormones and anti-ulcer drugs have also shown no evidence of clinically relevant adverse interactions with policosanol.
