 This worked for me Apr 24, 2009
By P. Rotz
My Cholesterol was 389. My doctor wanted me on Lipitor. I said no to Lipitor. Another MD told me about Policosanol. So, I took it for 1.5 yrs and with counting my calories my Cholesterol 127.

Worth a try! Oct 07, 2010
By Karen
I had very high cholesterol despite a very healthy diet, low weight and exercise. Since I couldn't tolerate Lipitor, Crestor or Zetia, I decided to try Policosanol Cholesterol Complex, an extra high fiber diet, fish oil, at least 32 oz. of green tea ice tea per day, milk and soy milk with plant sterols, and 100 mg of Coenzyme Q10. I just received my test results and my NMR LipoProfile numbers are significantly better than when I was taking Lipitor. My LDL-P result is down from 1764 to 1323, much closer to the optimal <1000. My total cholesterol is 181 and my HDL is up to 72 from 55. My triglycerides have also improved and are now 50 versus 137 while on Lipitor.
My cholesterol numbers are not as good as they were while I was on Crestor and Zetia but I feel great on this regime and don't have the terrible muscle and joint pain I had while taking those medications.

Works Great Oct 25, 2009
By S. Ircha
My doctor wanted me on Lipitor. I have four children and he said I have to think about them. I told him I wanted to try a natural supplement first to see if that helped. My doctor was amazed by how much lower my bad cholesterol levels went down after three months of use. He said I would not have to be on Lipitor now.
The negative review below is not very helpful. He stated that policosanol is out and phytosterols were in. However, a close look at the ingredients shows that this product contains phytoserols as well. It also includes other cholesterol lowering ingredients like Niacin. This is not just policosanol. Look at the ingredients. They are amazing.
Try it yourself as the proof is in the pudding.

GREAT PRODUCT Jun 10, 2010
By Patricia Weldon
"doglover"
THIS IS MY SECOND ORDER. I AM UNABLE TO TAKE STATINS FOR MY HIGH CHOLESTEROL AND THIS PRODUCT REALLY HELPS. TAKING IT AT BEDTIME IS SO EASY AND NO SIDE EFFECTS BECAUSE EVERY INGREDIENT IS NATURAL. WILL CONTINUE TO ORDER IT AND THE PRICE IS RIGHT!

 Smell? Dec 27, 2011
By J. Perkins
"perk"
I purchased this after reading about the virtues of many of it's Ingredients in The 4-Hour Body: An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat-Loss, Incredible Sex, and Becoming Superhuman.
When I took off the cap -- I nearly fainted from the smell. The smell is so strong that it stinks up the cabinet with the lid sealed. My five year old took a whiff from the bottle and ran away gagging. I now threaten to open the bottle if he doesn't clean up his room. His room is spotless for the first time in 3 years. Holy Cow, this could be a secret biological weapon, seriously.
I have emailed Source Naturals about the odor and hope to hear back soon. My bottle says " best if used by "7 15". I take that to mean July 2015.
Have none of the other reviewers noticed this smell? If so, why hasn't anyone mentioned this? There is no substance that my wife or I have ever smelled that even approaches this. I do realize it contains things like "Garlic Bulb" but OMG. Hoping the pills sewn in my garden will repeal insects this spring. A terrorist could cause a airborne panic by opening this bottle on an airplane. This is an orafactory curiosity.
