Octacosanol is natural long chain fatty alcohol. Higher alcohol, taking octacosanol as representative, seldom exists in free state.
High grade fatty alcohol is widely used in the nature, almost in all creatures. It is widely in lipid of plant, animal and insects. Long chain fatty alcohol exists in the root, stem, leaf, skin, seed of plant, marrow and body of gland of mankind and animal, and lipid of insects.
3, Physiological functions and uses of octacosanol
Octacosanol is a kind of functional food additive. Functions: enhance physical and brain power, energy and stamina, improve stress ability and rapid response, improve metabolic rate, cardiac muscle nutrition , reduce blood pressure etc..
4, Market application prospect of octacosanol
Octacosanol is the nutrition auxiliary, and the best additive for health products, cosmetics and feedstuffs. Products with octacosanol is often made into tablet, pill, capsule, candy, chocolate, cake and drinks etc.. Octacosanol has been well sold in the US and Japan for more than ten years. In 1996, sales volume of octacosanol reached 1 billion yen. China's market of octacosanol is just being developed.

Brief Introduction
Octacosanol is a long-chain fatty alcohol that is similar to cholesterol in structure. This compound is found in the waxy film that covers the leaves and fruits of plants. Octacosanol is the primary chemical compound of a group of plant compounds called policosanols. Policosanols have been studied for their effects on stabilizing cholesterol levels, as well as improving energy production.
