The evidence in words
How much to take
Not recommended.
Timing & separation
There are no strict timing conflicts on record for Policosanol; consistency matters more than the exact hour for most goals.
Why the dose is what it is
Proposed to inhibit cholesterol synthesis; the mechanism was never robustly confirmed.
Bottom line
The benefits vanished outside the original labs. Don't bother.
How it is used
As the entry records it, from the studies it summarises. Not a recommendation for you — doses that suit a trial population may not suit you.
