Scientific Opinion on the substantiation of health claims related to policosanols from sugar cane wax and maintenance of normal blood LDL-cholesterol concentrations (ID 1747, 1748, 1864, 1951, 1954, 4693) and maintenance of normal blood HDL-cholesterol co

Abstract: SUMMARYFollowing a request from the European Commission, the Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies was asked to provide a scientific opinion on a list of health claims pursuant to Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1924No /2006. This opinion addresses the scientific substantiation of health claims in relation to policosanols from sugar cane wax and maintenance of normal blood LDL-cholesterol concentrations and maintenance of normal blood HDL-cholesterol concentrations. The scientific substantiation… Show more

“…The beneficial physiological effects of policosanols include reducing platelet aggregation, endothelial damage, and foam cell formation [20], increasing muscle endurance [21], improving performance of coronary heart disease patients during exercise [22], and anti-arthritic and antioxidant properties [23]. Furthermore, studies exploring the physiological activities of policosanol have focused on its role in decreasing the levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and increasing the levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in the blood [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. In addition, PIW promotes skin wound healing in mice; exhibits antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic properties; and is skin-safe [32].…”
