Policosanol is a natural compound derived from the waxes of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum), beeswax, wheat germ, and other plant sources. It consists of a mixture of long-chain aliphatic alcohols, primarily octacosanol, which is believed to contribute to its health benefits. Policosanol is commonly used as a dietary supplement, primarily for its potential role in cholesterol management and cardiovascular health.
