Description:
Octacosanol powder is a naturally occurring long-chain fatty alcohol obtained from rice bran wax, sugar cane wax, wheat germ oil, and other botanical waxes. As the primary bioactive component of policosanol, Octacosanol has attracted global attention due to its potential effects on cardiovascular support, lipid metabolism, and physical endurance. Structurally similar to vitamin E, Octacosanol exists on the waxy surface of grains and plant tissue, enabling it to participate in cellular protection processes and metabolic pathways related to human energy utilization.
Octacosanol Powder Manufacturing Process from Rice Bran Wax
Rice Bran Wax Extract policosanol powder generally contains about 60% Octacosanol, with the remaining fraction composed of other fatty alcohols such as triacontanol, behenyl alcohol, lignoceryl alcohol, ceryl alcohol, and dotriacontanol. Originating from a food-based botanical source rather than synthetic chemicals, Octacosanol powder is widely recognized as a nutraceutical ingredient with excellent tolerance and safety records.
Research—particularly early studies from Cuba—suggests that Octacosanol and policosanol may support healthy cholesterol profiles by reducing LDL levels and assisting the increase of HDL levels. At the same time, Octacosanol has been associated with improved muscle performance, reaction time, and oxygen efficiency, making it suitable for endurance-based formulations. These properties have led Octacosanol powder to be used across the functional food, nutraceutical, sports nutrition, advanced cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries, where natural compounds with stable physiological performance are increasingly preferred. The combination of lipid-balancing potential, energy metabolism support, and anti-fatigue characteristics gives Octacosanol a multidimensional functional profile uncommon among botanical extracts.
Function:
1. Octacosanol Policosanol can increase stamina, improve athletic performance, and support long-duration exercise needs.
2. Octacosanol powder enhances muscle resilience, reduces muscle friction, and helps maintain optimal muscular comfort during training.
3. Octacosanol supports neuromuscular coordination, helping shorten physical reaction time and improve responsiveness.
4. Octacosanol Policosanol promotes stable cardiovascular activity and contributes to healthy heart rhythm.
5. Octacosanol increases basal metabolic rate and assists in efficient nutrient utilization.
6. Octacosanol Policosanol enhances tolerance to altitude-related stress and adverse environmental conditions.
7. Octacosanol powder may help maintain systolic blood pressure within a normal physiological range.
8. Octacosanol improves oxygen utilization efficiency and reduces bodily oxygen consumption under physical exertion.
9. Octacosanol powder supports recovery after exercise by moderating physical fatigue and maintaining metabolic balance.
10. Octacosanol can help sustain higher training frequency by improving endurance capacity.
Octacosanol powder extracted from rice bran wax, known for supporting endurance, muscle performance, reaction time, and physical strength.
Application:
1. Used in functional food formulations, Octacosanol powder is added to nutritional supplements designed to enhance vitality, stamina, and metabolic efficiency.
2. Applied in the pharmaceutical industry as a raw material for products
