Product Information:

Octacosonal - 5000 mcg - 100 capsules by NOW®  Foods.   

Octacosanol is believed to perform a number of beneficial actions in the body. Chief amongst these is its ability to enhance athletic performance by increasing the body's ability to use oxygen during exercise. The hard working muscles of an athlete need oxygen to perform and recover. Octacosanol also acts to increase exercise endurance because of its high vitamin E content. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant and free-radical scavenger. Vitamin E protects muscle tissue and DNA from damage, and immune function from oxidative stress. By preventing the buildup of lactic acid and increasing the body's ability to store glucose as muscle glycogen, octacosanol can improve muscular strength and endurance.

Octacosanol is a naturally occuring substance found in sugar cane, wheat germ oil, spinach, and other natural sources. Our Octacosanol is derived from spinach and is a wheat-free product.
