Name Octacosanol Ingredient Octacosanol Specification 20%30%40%50%60%70%80%90% Test method GC Physiological functions: Octacosanol is a recognized anti-fatigue material extracted from rice husk wax, sugarcane wax and bees wax. The research of the doctor T.K.Cureton in University of Illinois shows that its main functions are: (1) increasing endurance energy and physical power. (2) increasing muscular strength; reducing muscle ache and muscle friction. (3) shortening response time of nerve; improving response quickness. (4) strengthening the function of heart. (5) heightening basal metabolic rate. (6) increasing energy to defend high altitude sickness. (7) cutting down blood pressure. (8) increasing the oxygen transmittion power; reducing oxygen requirement. Octacosanol can be used as additive of health food and health beverage. Toxicity: Octacosanol is of high safety.
