I don't think it is supposed to have any drastic noticeable effect. If you read back throughout the beginning of the thread especially, the main purpose is for improved liver metabolism and glucose storage and over time it has shown to resaturate fat stores from polyunsaturated to saturated, which takes time but is what we want...

I was hoping to experience an improvement in cardiovascular fitness. One of the benefits of octacosanol (the primary VLFA in policosanol) is that it allows your tissues to use oxygen more efficiently. It was surmised that it was this effect that the Shute brothers noticed when doing their vitamin E therapy 90 years ago. So far I haven't noticed any improvement.
