What Is Policosanol?
Policosanol is a mixture of long-chain primary fatty alcohols, supplied as white to off-white powder. The selected specification requires at least 98% total policosanol and at least 60% octacosanol, the C28 alcohol fraction.
Octacosanol content describes one constituent of the mixture rather than its entire identity. The balance of fatty alcohols can distinguish policosanol grades from isolated octacosanol. Nutrition ingredient developers should consider the total alcohol assay and constituent distribution together when selecting material and designing incorporation into the intended product matrix.

Policosanol Applications
Capsules and tablets
Policosanol powder can be assessed for suitable capsule and tablet formulations using the stated mixed-fatty-alcohol grade.
Nutrition powder blends
In powder blends, consider total policosanol and the octacosanol fraction separately; this ingredient is not an isolated octacosanol material.
Formulation evaluation
Compare the specified alcohol profile, drying loss and physical form when qualifying a sample for a subsequent bulk order.
