A complex and expensive blend with a very high, effective dose of Plant Sterols and beneficial oils, but its bee wax Policosanol and high cost are notable cons.
Genestra Brands' Biotone EFA is a multifaceted supplement with a strong emphasis on lipid management and cardiovascular health. Its most significant component is a very high concentration of various Plant Sterols (totaling approximately 1792mg), which are highly effective in blocking cholesterol absorption and are widely recommended for cholesterol reduction. It also provides beneficial fatty acids from Flaxseed Oil and Safflower Seed Oil, and antioxidants like Vitamin E. The Policosanol (10mg) is sourced from Apis mellifera wax (bee wax), which is a less common and even less studied source than sugar cane for cholesterol-lowering effects. The product's main deterrents are its exceptionally high price ($1.48 per serving) and very limited number of reviews (18), suggesting a niche market or lower consumer reach.
- Very high and effective dose of Plant Sterols
- Includes beneficial fatty acids and antioxidants
- Extremely high price per serving
- Policosanol source (bee wax) is less studied/proven
- Very low review count

Categories
Policosanol 68.0
While it contains Policosanol, its high effectiveness and score within this collection are due to the superior and very high dose of Plant Sterols, which are much more impactful for cholesterol management than Policosanol itself. Its very high price is a limiting factor.
Goals
Heart Health, Cardiovascular Support 78.0
The extremely high and clinically relevant dose of Plant Sterols provides a robust and scientifically validated mechanism for supporting heart health and cholesterol management, making this product highly effective for its goal, despite its high cost and the less effective Policosanol inclusion.
