leaderboard Score 38.0
A popular and affordable 20mg sugar cane Policosanol supplement, but its effectiveness for heart health remains scientifically unproven.
Source Naturals offers a 20mg Policosanol supplement, specifically from sugar cane, which is the form most referenced in initial research. The price of $0.15 per serving is quite reasonable for this dosage. It also has a very high number of reviews (1359), indicating considerable consumer popularity. Despite its market presence and good value, the prevailing scientific consensus, based on numerous independent studies and expert reviews, indicates that Policosanol does not reliably or significantly impact cholesterol levels or provide substantial cardiovascular benefits, limiting the product's true efficacy for its stated goal.
- 20mg dose
- Policosanol is from sugar cane
- Very competitive price per serving
- Very high review count
- Policosanol's efficacy for heart health/cholesterol is largely unsupported by independent scientific research
- Reliance on this product alone for serious cholesterol concerns is not advised.
