Ingredient type: Standardized policosanol concentrate (mixture of long-chain aliphatic fatty alcohols) with min. 60% octacosanol (OCT) within min. 95% total policosanol.
Policosanol 95% (OCT 60%) by Cactus Botanics Limited is a high-strength policosanol ingredient supplied for B2B manufacturing. “Policosanol” typically refers to a natural mixture of higher aliphatic primary alcohols (long-chain fatty alcohols), and “OCT 60%” indicates octacosanol is the predominant fraction (minimum 60%) within the standardized blend.
This material is commonly used in nutraceutical and functional wellness formulations where formulators specify policosanol for general lipid metabolism / cardiovascular-support positioning (finished-product claims are market- and label-dependent). From a technical standpoint, it is typically selected when manufacturers need a high-assay, standardized active profile with predictable handling and compatibility in capsule/tablet blends and other delivery formats (process-dependent).
Applications
- Dietary supplement manufacturing: capsules, tablets, powder blends (formulation- and process-dependent)
- Functional wellness products: blends positioned for general metabolic / cardiovascular-support (claims depend on market rules and finished labeling)
- R&D / contract manufacturing: standardized active inclusion where “policosanol 95% / OCT 60%” is specified in formulation briefs
