Octacosanol is the main component of dodecanol, which is a natural higher fatty alcohol. In recent years, octacosanol has become a world recognized functional substance with health care function. As a safe and efficient nutritional supplement, octacosanol has many biological functions and clinical application value. Octacosanol is extremely safe. It mainly exists in the wax secreted by the peel of plants or the surface of chemical Book fruits, such as sugarcane wax and rice bran wax. It not only provides people with a variety of products for medicine, health care and cosmetics, but also has been gradually applied to the sports industry, which can not only enhance human energy and endurance, but also help to lose weight.
Octacosanol contributes to anticoagulation. It is found that octacosanol combined with aspirin can synergistically treat cerebral ischemia and thrombosis, and participate in the metabolic pathway of prostaglandins and thromboxanes. Octacosanol dose of 50 ~ 200mg / kg can inhibit platelet aggregation caused by ADP in vitro.
Octacosanol helps to reduce blood lipids. In the population trial, after taking octacosanol, the serum cholesterol level and serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol content decreased significantly, while the content of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (cholesterol beneficial to human body) remained unchanged, and the weight of fatty tissue around the kidney decreased significantly, but the number of cells did not decrease, indicating that octacosanol can inhibit the rise of blood lipid.
Octacosanol helps to enhance human endurance. Octacosanol is particularly outstanding in enhancing human motor function. Animal experiments show that octacosanol can significantly increase the swimming time of mice. Yu Changqing added twenty-eight alkanols to animal after exhaustion awesome. The results of the experiment confirm that it can effectively reduce the MDA level of myocardial mitochondria and prevent the lipid peroxidation of mitochondria.
