Prevenox

Prevenox is a natural nutritional supplement developed by the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas (CNIC) in Cuba. Its active ingredient is a purified mixture of high molecular weight aliphatic fatty acids extracted from sugarcane wax (*Saccharum officinarum* L.). Prevenox is primarily indicated for the management of hypercholesterolemia and the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis and osteoarthritis, particularly in middle-aged and elderly populations. The supplement exhibits a multi-faceted pharmacological profile, including antioxidant, lipid-lowering, antiplatelet, and osteoprotective activities. It is commercialized through Laboratorios Dalmer, the commercial entity of CNIC. While its precise molecular targets remain uncharacterized, it is recognized for its ability to modulate lipid profiles and support bone health through natural metabolic pathways.
