Vasoactol

Vasoactol is a natural product nutritional supplement developed by the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas (CNIC) in Cuba. It is composed of a purified extract of high molecular weight alcohols derived from sugarcane wax (*Saccharum officinarum* L.). The product is primarily used as an antioxidant to prevent the oxidation of lipids and proteins by free radicals, thereby providing cardiovascular support and potentially protecting against chronic non-communicable diseases such as atherosclerosis and diabetes. It is typically administered orally in 6 mg tablet form and is recommended for middle-aged or elderly individuals, those experiencing high physical stress, or individuals with lipid metabolism alterations. Vasoactol has been commercialized in several regions, including Latin America, Europe, and Australia.
