Policosanol, generally is made up of long chain alcohols of C20-C34. It existed in bee wax, sugar cane wax, rice bran wax. and wheat germ oil. The sorts and contents of n-alcohols which formed policosanol are different going with the different raw materials.

In 30s last century, scientists found that octacosanol is effective in the curing of procreation impedient diseases. In the end of 70s last century, Triacontanol was discovered as a plant growth regulator; also it is an anti-inflammation agent. Afterward, Hexacosanol was found to have effect in blood-lipid lowering; and, it is effective in the treatment of Parkinson’s diseases. It also can supplies nutrition to brain cells. But, these research results were not regarded then.

Near years, Cuban scientists have studied the effect of blood-lipid lowering of octacosanol and got a great development. So, many scientists pay more attention to octacosanol again. The application practices of all trends are outspread. Hereinto, all the practices based on the authoritative and systemic research works completed by Dr.T.K.Cureton.

Since 1949, it took two decades, Dr. Cureton had made an investigation to 894 Americans, it involved the long-term tracing of 42 items. He has summed up 10 main functions of octacosanol:

1.Enhance physical force, resistance and energy.
2.Be effective in muscle building.
3.Enhance the acuity n. of response, shorten the feedback time.
4.Increase the climbing ability.
5.Enhance the metabolic rate of energy, eliminate muscle convulsion
6.Enhance the functions of muscle (including cardio-muscle).
7.Lower the blood pressure.
8.Enhance the basic metabolic rate.
9.Stimulate sexual hormone.
10.Promote the decomposing of fat.

The studies of Dr.Cureton also shown that octacosanol is safe enough in using, the LD50 value of octacosanol is 18000mg/kg.B.D.W., higher than salt. Scientific papers shown that policosanol of very small dosage is already effective. Take 2-4mg of policosanol (octacosanol content:12.5%)daily, continued taking for 6-14weeks, the effect will be significant. Meanwhile, someone suggested that the health care dosage will be1-5mg daily; but for treatment, the daily dosage will be 20mg.

The Hygiene Ministry of Japan has accepted all the research results and put it in the index of 《The development of functional foods》published in 1988, so as to lead the actions of Japanese industries.

In the followed ten years,Japanese had developed a lot of foods,soft drinks and alcoholic drinks which containing octacosanol.The annual production value of octacosanol products reaches to a thousand million of Japanese dollar.

Now,scientists do not settle for the study of single n-alcohol.They begin to make up policosanol that contains many n-alcohols and wanna know if the effect of policosanol will be better than the effect of single n-alcohol.Theoretically speaking; going with the development of molecular distillation, scientists shall be able to produce policosanols that constituted by any ratio and sorts of n-alcohols they want.

Use rice bran wax as the raw material,we can produce following

policosanol products:

Tetracosanol(10-50%)
Hexacosanol(10-50%)
Octacosanol(12-65%)
Triacontanol(5-60%)

According to the different wills, we can specially produce policosanol products with any ratio and sorts of n-alcohols for clients.

All my products will keep its natural characters, no any solvent & insecticide residua will be existed in it.
