Nanocosanol - healthy cholesterol PDF Print E-mail
Looking for a new ingredients for health cholesterol? Nanocosanol, a new patent-pending nanotechnology-based product promises a higher level of biofunctionality compared to existing policosanol supplements for promoting a heart-healthy lipid balance. Traditional policosanol extracts are characterized as being globular, waxy mixtures with a consistency that has a tendency to resist dispersion in the digestive tract and hence displays limited biofunctionality. Using natotechnology, the fatty alcohols have been dispersed in a way which closely mimics dispersions found in nature. The policosanols (fatty alcohols) used in Nanocosanol are extracted from botanical sources including rice bran and sugar cane employing ultrahigh pressure supercritical carbon dioxide technology and feature optimized ratios of octacosanol, tricosanol and hexacosanol. No alcohol or solvents are used in this 100% natural extraction process. The fatty alcohols are then nanodispersed in omega-3 and omega-6 botanical derived extracts including extracts of cranberry seed and amaranth. The proprietary botanically-derived stabilization system – called the O2B peroxidation blocker – ensures stability of the Nanocosanol formulation and provides added beneficial antioxidants.


Policosanols are known to promote blood lipid health and it has been suggested in numerous clinical trials that these fatty alcohols can lead to lower cholesterol levels. Nanocosanol, the only nanodispersion of policosanols available today, closely mimics the dispersion of these fatty alcohols in nature and therefore can provide far better biofunctionality compared to traditional globular waxy policosanol extracts

Each Softgel contains contains: 250mg Nanocosanol containing 10 mg sugar cane wax alcohol.
