Sugar cane wax application
It can be used to treat osteoporosis with hypercalcemia; treat high cholesterol and high lipoprotein blood type, lower blood pressure, and stimulate sexual behavior of animals and humans.
Obtaining a Fraction of Sugarcane Wax
1. Reduce the oxidation of density lipoprotein cholesterol
2. Inhibit the synthesis of cholesterol
3. Increase the catabolism of LDL cholesterol
4. Controls receptors for LDL cholesterol
5. At the same time, sugarcane elements also have the ability to reduce the absorption of lipids in the small intestine
6. Anti-smooth muscle cell proliferation effect
7. Anti-platelet aggregation
8. Anti-peroxidation effect
