Octacosanol, a main part of policosanol, is a 28 – C straight – chain saturated alcohol.
Policosanol is a mix of higher fatty alcohols, mainly octacosanol and triacontanol.

Extraction Methods
Generally, solvent extraction, saponification, etc. are used to extract policosanol from natural raw materials. It can also be prepared by chemical synthesis. However, products extracted from natural sources are more favored in the market due to their better bioactivity and safety.
