Policosanol is a dietary supplement that is derived from the waxy coatings of plants such as sugar cane (where it's most commonly extracted from), wheat germ, rice bran, and beeswax. It is a mixture of alcohols, with octacosanol being the most predominant and well-studied component. Other alcohols in policosanol include triacontanol, hexacosanol, and several others.
