A budget-friendly Policosanol supplement from sugar cane with many reviews, but the ingredient itself lacks strong scientific support for its effectiveness in cholesterol management.
This product is a simple, single-ingredient supplement providing 10mg of Policosanol derived from sugar cane. The dose is within the typical range explored in studies. The price point is highly competitive at $0.09 per serving, and it boasts a very high number of positive reviews. However, the scientific evidence for Policosanol's effectiveness in supporting heart health by lowering cholesterol has largely been discredited by numerous rigorous studies conducted outside of Cuba. Nutritionists and medical professionals often advise against relying on policosanol due to the lack of robust, reproducible efficacy, suggesting that any perceived benefits might be placebo effect or misattributed.
- Very affordable per serving
- Uses sugar cane derived Policosanol
- High review count
- Policosanol's efficacy for heart health/cholesterol is largely unsupported by independent scientific research
- May provide little to no actual benefit for its stated goal
- Individuals relying on Policosanol for serious cholesterol management might be delaying more effective treatment.

Policosanol 35.0
As a pure Policosanol product, its score is limited by the overall lack of scientific consensus on Policosanol's efficacy, though it offers a good price point and popular appeal within its specific collection.
Goals
Heart Health, Cardiovascular Support 30.0
The scientific evidence strongly suggests that Policosanol alone has minimal to no significant impact on cholesterol levels or overall cardiovascular health, making it an unreliable choice for this specific goal compared to ingredients with robust clinical backing.
