How does Policosanol in Res-Q LDL-x2 with Niacin work?


Over 90 scientific abstracts on policosanol reveal the safety and health benefits of policosanol. In fact, policosanol may be used with omega-3 supplements made from fish oils to help maintain a cholesterol level that is already normal. In a clinical study, policosanol did not have a direct effect on the activity of the enzyme HMG-CoA Reductase. Policosanol promoted LDL cholesterol binding, processing, and degradation in the liver. It is proposed by researchers that policosanol may work in the liver at an earlier step in the cholesterol synthesis pathway. The exact mechanism is not fully understood. However, we do know that Policosanol does not directly inhibit the same enzyme in the liver that statins work on, and is gaining recognition and increased popularity for this reason, especially as people turn to supplement use to seek new, safe solutions to better their health and longevity. Many clinical trials to determine the efficacy of policosanol compared policosanol with low dose statin drugs.


It is important to take Res-Q 1250, our potent high quality omega-3 supplement with Res-Q LDL-x2 with Niacin to help maintain a cholesterol level that is within the normal range. Studies show that combining omega-3 with policosanol provides better results than taking either one alone. Since policosanol supports the normal bodily function of the processing of LDL cholesterol in the liver, and omega-3 fatty acids from fish oils encourage triglyceride reduction, and both LDL cholesterol and triglycerides make up your cholesterol number, taking both supplements would provide the best cardiovascular health results.

Res-Q LDL-x2 is available with Niacin for maximum cardiovascular health benefits. Res-Q LDL-x2 with Niacin is the preferred choice for optimal cardiovascular health. Res-Q LDL-x2 is also available without Niacin.
