Studies Show Policosanol Raises HDL (good) Cholesterol up to 25%!

Gene Millen, Author - Revised11/30/15

Policosanol is an Excellent Alternative to Statin Drugs!

Clinical studies show an increase of HDL (good) cholesterol by 15% to 25%.

• HDL cholesterol benefits heart arteries by removing artery clogging plaque.

LDL cholesterol (often called the "bad" cholesterol) typically dropped by 25-30% during the first 8-12 weeks of therapy.

• LDL cholesterol is dangerous because when oxidized it can cause arteries to clog and lead to a heart attack or stroke.

Policosanol is one of the safest and most widely tested natural nutritional supplements.

• In clinical research trials of nearly 30,000 persons policosanol derived from sugar cane has been proven to be safe.

I'm Gene Millen, a 25-year survivor of a six way heart bypass operation, a Heart Health Coach, and your host on this website.

During the last 25 years I've worked with hundreds of people who are looking for ways to improve their cholesterol without the use of statin drugs such as Lipitor, Crestor and their generic cousins.

About 13 years ago I discovered an excellent natural nutritional supplement (pronounced poly-cos-a-nol), derived from sugar cane, that is one of the best alternatives to statin drugs.

The statin family of drugs has a long record of side effects, the latest being diabetes.

A recent study by scientists at the University of Eastern Finland analyzed six years of data from 8,749 men between the ages of 45 to 73.

They estimated that people who use statins have a 46 percent greater chance of developing diabetes than those who don't.¹

A Natural Supplement That Improves Cholesterol Without the Side Effects!

What I like most about this natural solution to improve cholesterol:

• its ability to increase hdl cholesterol, which has been shown in clinical studies to reverse the build up of placque in our heart arteries.
• does it without the debilitating side effects that many statin drug users endure.

This natural supplement derived from sugar cane is backed up by dozens of well-designed clinical studies.

The chart on the left represents the results of the famous Framingham Study, which indicates the benefit of high HDL cholesterol.

The research study concluded;
"...high HDL cholesterol levels are protective against the development of atherosclerotic disease (artery clogging causing heart attack or stroke.)

In the Framingham Study, risk for cardiovascular disease increases sharply as HDL levels fall below 40 mg/dL!

Studies also show that those with the highest hdl cholesterol also live longer!

Renowned Natural Medicine Physician Recommends Policosanol.

Dr. Michael Murray, author of Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, one of the most renowned doctors of natural medicine provides us with a second opinion about excellent this natural supplement derived from sugar cane.

"In a 1997 head-to-head study this nutrient was compared with statin drugs lovastatin (Mevacor), simvastatin (Zocor) and pravastatin (Pravachol) Policosanol and ZOCOR were found to be equally effective in lowering cholesterol during an eight week study...but policosano extracted from sugar cane also significantly increased HDL-cholesterol levels and Zocor did not."

Lipitor and Other Statin Drugs Shown to Cause Amnesia

Dr. Duane Graveline, MD, a former NASA astronaut who was one of the scientists selected for the Apollo space program, relates his story of how Lipitor was the source of his transient global amnesia (TGA)Duane Graveline, MD Space Doc.Com

"I soon realized the adverse reactions involved far more than impaired cognition, including personality change, myopathy, neuropathy and a chronic neuromuscular degeneration similar to ALS, and all statins were contributing to these adverse reactions, not just Lipitor."

All Nutritional Supplements Are Not Created Equal!

In an online comparison study conducted by ConsumerLab four of seven policosanol products tested contained only 23% to 78% of the amount listed on the label.

The original comparison studies were conducted with a formula derived from sugar cane. It's wise to avoid products made with bees wax, rice wax or other plant waxes as many are not as effective as the sugar cane formulas.

The University of Kansas Hospital "Natural Pharmacist" website reports, "There is reason for concern that policosanol products made with bees wax may not be effective."

The following story is a powerful testimony of how Vital Life Nutritionals Policosanol Extra Strength Formula is working for Janelle.

"When the results of my cholesterol lab test came back in the spring of 2024, my triglycerides were sky high (1723) and my HDL cholesterol so low (8) that I was frightened enough to try any solution the doctor suggested.

"He prescribed a low-fat, low-carbohydrate diet, exercise and high doses of niacin. This brought the triglycerides down to a reasonable level; however, nothing seemed to budge the low HDL level to much above 18.

"When we moved out of state, my new doctor insisted that I try a combination of niacin and a statin drug to address what he thought were "unacceptable" numbers.

In 2024 I finally caved and agreed to the statin combination of niacin and a statin drug.

Within a year I was unable to walk up and down stairs and couldn't lift myself from a sitting position without holding on to something.

"I immediately stopped the statin/niacin (against the doctor's advice), and I began in earnest scouring the internet for alternative solutions to what for me had been harmful pharmaceutical drugs.

"How fortunate for me that I found the Millen's Vital Heart Health for Life site. I ordered policosanol and within six months my HDL began improving.

My last test, three months ago showed my HDL at 36, not ideal I realize, but for me the best it has ever been. Triglycerides and LDL were also within normal range, and my total cholesterol was 180.

"I am so very thankful that Gene and Bernie Millen continue to offer what I consider life-saving advice, and products such as policosanol, for those of us who are desperately searching for alternatives to the "traditional" drugs prescribed by most physicians today.
