Policosanol Side Effects Info

Policosanol side effects appear to be very benign. There are some important points to consider, however. I would also like to add at this juncture that there has been an abundance of polycosanol research conducted worldwide.

Some say it's even been more researched than the cholesterol lowering statin drugs it has now been competing with in the last few years.

Policosanol is made from sugar cane wax. Incidentally, even though policosanol comes from sugar cane wax, it doesn't raise the glucose (blood sugar levels).

This is important info for diabetics especially. Some erroneously conclude this and there is currently no research that we've read that even imply it.

The side effects of policosanol though rarely reported are the following, upset stomach, insomnia, skin rashes, migraine headaches, drowsiness, etc.

As research is ongoing, it is possible that other side effects will be discovered. At this point, however, policosanol toxicity doesn't appear to be a problem. While the policosanol side effects are not serious, it is always advisable to consult with your doctor before embarking on a new supplement regime.

Pregnant and/or nursing women should especially consult with their doctor. If you'd like more information on policosanol, please go to our main policosanol page.

Final Word

I'm concerned about our cardiovascular health as well and in our research we came across a company from New Zealand that produces GMP compliant, pharmaceutical grade quality, non-toxic supplements. I now take this company's cholesterol lowering supplement formula that contains healthy policosanol.

Thus far, we've been very pleased with the results.

Incidentally, I was intrigued by New Zealand's governmental standards for supplements as they actually surpass those of the FDA for pharmaceutical drugs.

As you may or may not know, fraud is rampant with supplement companies.

With this product, I was pleased as it's pharmaceutical grade, produced in GMP compliant pharmaceutical facilities.

These are the same standards the FDA requires for drug medication manufacture in the US.

I hope this policosanol side effects info has been helpful for you.

Yours in health, hope, and harmony,
