Ultra Policosanol 20mg - Natural Plant Compounds Now Within Your Reach
Ultra Policosanol 20mg from EssentialSeries is a dietary supplement in vegetable capsules made from sugar cane wax extract (which contains no sugar), standardized to 90% Policosanol, with 20mg per vegetable capsule, and with a known contribution of 60% Octacosanol in the extract, providing 13.3mg per capsule.
Policosanol, though technically policosanols, is the name for a series of high molecular weight compounds found in the waxy structures of many plants. Policosanol consists of carbon structures such as docosanol, hexacosanol, triacontanol, dotriacontanol, and the most well-known of all, the 28-carbon structure: Octacosanol, whose content is important to know.
Sugar cane wax is one of the most chosen options for obtaining Policosanol due to its high efficiency and natural concentration of the compound.
Ultra Policosanol by HSN is Not Just Another Policosanol. Discover It!
Natural, Not Synthetic Policosanol: Obtained from Sugar Cane Wax (Sugar-Free)
Policosanol is a compound that can be synthesized in a lab but can also be obtained naturally, not synthetically, from plant waxes such as wheat bran (which contains gluten), green tea, or what is considered the best source due to its high natural content: Sugar cane wax.
HSN Ultra Policosanol 20mg guarantees 20mg of pure, natural, non-synthetic Policosanol from sugar cane, free from allergens and sugars in its composition.
High Standardization of Policosanol (90%) and Octacosanol (60%)
The sugar cane wax extract used is standardized to 90% natural Policosanol.
Thanks to this high content, each vegetable capsule of our supplement provides no less than 20mg of the natural compound, with a guaranteed content thanks to the quality of the laboratory analytical methods used, ensuring the indicated Policosanol content.
Among all the natural alcohols that form Policosanol, one stands out above the rest, and this is Octacosanol. The reason it stands out is because scientific research seems to focus on the positive nutritional properties of this specific compound.
At HSN, we analyze using state-of-the-art high-precision techniques the Octacosanol content of the extract, guaranteeing a minimum contribution of 60% of its composition.
HSN Ultra Policosanol 20mg provides 13.3mg of Octacosanol.
The Product Includes Vitamin B1 to Optimize Its Functionality
Vitamin B1 contributes to the normal function of the heart.
This is the reason it is added, as it perfectly complements the nutritional properties of Policosanol (and Octacosanol) and also helps us consume an adequate amount of an essential nutrient.
Policosanol 10mg vs. Ultra Policosanol 20mg. Differences
At HSN, you have the product 'Policosanol 10mg' from HSN EssentialSeries.
If you are wondering what the differences are between the two products, the only difference lies in the Policosanol dose provided by each capsule.
The effective and studied range of Policosanol can vary between 10 and 20mg. To cover the full range of action, we have both products, so you can conveniently choose the dose you consume by using just one capsule.
Ultra Policosanol is the 'DS' (Double Strength) version of HSN Policosanol 10mg, but both have been developed with the same quality and guarantees.
Policosanol in Science. What Do We Know?
Policosanol has been studied in medical literature for over 30 years, as its nutritional properties have been of interest to the global health sciences community.
It was recently (at the end of the last decade) that research on Policosanol peaked with the publications of meta-analyses that help position the expert community regarding the potential uses of the compound:
