Properties:

Octacosanol (C28H58O) is a 28 carbon long-chain saturated primary alcohol, and is the active ingredient in wheat germ oil. It is found in wheat germ oil, spinach and sugar cane wax.
The most famous member of the policosanol family is octacosanol, a 28-carbon aliphatic alcohol (molecular weight 410.74), popularized as an active ingredient in wheat germ oil. Its proportion to other aliphatic alcohols in the policosanol profile depends on the source. Sugar cane wax can contain approximately 60-70 percent octacosanol, while rice bran wax and beeswax levels are approximately 17.5 percent.
Dosage:Typical doses used are 1 to 8 milligrams (1,000 to 8,000 micrograms) daily taken with food. A dose of 20 milligrams daily should not be exceeded. Octacosanol frequently comes in mixtures with other long-chain alcohols.

Safety and Toxicity:

Long-term trials in humans using amounts up to 20 mg per day have not shown any negative effects.Octacosanol is not recommended for children, pregnant women and nursing mothers. Parkinson's disease patients taking carbidopa-levodopa may experience side effects (see Adverse Reactions).
