Policosanol is a phytochemical. Recent studies have shown that this supplement can lower total cholesterol and LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein also called bad cholesterol). This supplement is non-toxic and can in fact take the place of statins. Statins have many adverse side effects. The main side effect being the damage to the liver. Even though studies conclude that liver damage rarely occurs with statins. The possibility is still there. Compounded with the fact that many AAS users, use oral compounds that can lead to a very toxic concoction for the liver. Here is an article that outlines a study done on non-insulin dependent-diabetes mellitus and hypercholesterolemia. Keep in mind that the subjects being tested were non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus and hypercholesterolemia. The studies are still inconclusive but yet promising. I have used policosanol while on cycle and my lipids are always in range and blood pressure at or around 118/64.
