Policosanol, Support for Cardiovascular Health*, 20 mg - 60 Tablets

Good

Source Naturals Policosanol tablets worked very well for me.

Seems to be an effective product for cardiovascular health. I have taken it for several years and myblood chemistry numbers are good.

I had 4-way bypass surgery on my heart in July 2001 and the surgeon said that during the operation they found a 5th artery that wasn't critical but they decided to go ahead and repair since they were already there. My cholesterol has been 400-500 ever since I was a teenager. K-mart had a booth set up giving free cholesterol tests. The lady said I was a walking heart attack. I never had a heart attack, but I did have the surgery in 2001 after flunking a stress test. After my surgery they put me on Plavix to thin my blood. I heard a lot of bad things about blood thinners so I did some research and found a lot of studies on Policosanol. It helped keep your blood from clotting as much, lowered cholesterol, and help keep plaque from attaching to the artery walls. So I found what I considered at the time to be the best brand (Source Naturals) at the time and proceeded to take the maximum daily dose (20mg). I've not changed my diet (although I should have) and have had 2 heart cath's done since then and have had no problems. Sixteen years with no recurrence of the blockage. To me that's proof enough.

I used it for almost a year and it did not help lower my cholesterol. It was easy to swallow and had no side effects or other issues. Just wish it worked for me.

Tengo 5 años tomando Policosanol y mi colesterol marcha bien. El precio es bueno, cumple mis expectativas en todo sentido.

The doctor prescribed a statin for my slightly high cholesterol and it increased my "jumpy leg" at night. I tried the Policosanol and my next test showed better numbers. I will continue with this until the next test in 6 months and see if it helps further.

Unfortunately I couldn't use this product because it can interfere with baby aspirin. This was not found in the description and I couldn't return the unopened bottle for a refund
