Post up if you have experience with Policosanol... What is a good dose to take? Do you take it off cycle as well? How quickly does it improve cholesterol?

Post up if you have experience with Policosanol... What is a good dose to take? Do you take it off cycle as well? How quickly does it improve cholesterol?

A few years back I was on the anabolic diet "OFF CYCLE" and was eating 10-12 WHOLE eggs a day on top of other higher fat protiens, and my total cholesterol got up to 480!!
So I cut out all the egg yolks, started eating low fat and started taking policosanol at 20mg. with my last meal of the day, and tested 3 months later, and my total cholesterol dropped down to 186!
No side effects, just take it with last meal of the day, and your good to go.
i've heard guys taking 30-40mg. a day, but i don't think that high a dose is necesary. 20mg. is a good starting point.
peace......

I use 60mg before bed. (you make cholesterol while sleeping) and I saw results in a month. But that's because that's when I was tested it might have worked faster.

About a year ago my HDL levels were dropping pretty low (~19) and the doctor was getting nervous. I posted a question on here back then and it was suggested that I take 60 mg of policosanol a day. After two months my HDL levels were up to 32. I will be getting more blood work at the end of the year to see if they have returned to the normal range. I am still using policosanol at 60 mg/day.

Hope this helps.

I use 40mg/day... these posts about 60mg/day have me thinking perhaps I should up my dosage, even though I also take nolva for lipid help and niacin, extra policosanol can't hurt when I get up to Needsize's suggestion of 80mg/day of dbol

I was taking 60mg/day along with niacin and my bad cholesterol was around 270 and the good was around 13 when I had blood work taken at around week 10 of a 12 week cycle.I was taking Fina at 100mg/day, 50mg/day winny, test and clen. I dont know if it worked or not. WOuld my levels been even worse without it? I dont know. All I know is its cheap and if it only helps a little then use it. Good Luck

I dont know if all the brands of Policosanol have the recommendation of taking extra coQ10, but the brand I was taking had a notation on the label to be sure to take the COQ10 with it as it was nessasary to replenish t when using Policosinol...

I've read some positive reviews of policosanol, but the one I saw showing bloodtestresults, before and after, had no difference, so he concluded it didn't really help. Red yeast rice did help him out though... The two work via different ways I think, so stacking could be even better.

 

[missionpossible]

you can buy the red yeast rice combined with the policosinol through Swansons Vitamins, online. Their prices are pretty good too.

One more note.....

I was shopping on-line for the best price on Policosanol, and was all set to order that, no-flush Niacin... etc, etc.... (between my "research" & my DR's suggestions) all from one place on the net in one large order to save some $$ for what we all REALLY want ;-)

..... then I went to W??-Mart to get toilet paper, etc... walked through the Vitamin section looking for something else... and found the Niacinamide AND the Policosanol for LESS THAN the best price I found on-line....

Must be a brief DROP in my TEST-E Levels, I guess, for me to be a "Smart Shopper"

Did I accidentally take a bunch of CLOMID ???
