One of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease is elevated total and LDL (“bad”) cholesterol.

There are several categories of prescription drugs that are designed to help lower cholesterol; the most commonly prescribed being the Statin drugs.

Statins are effective at lowering total and LDL cholesterol, but they are associated with significant side effects.

Heart Health

Many individuals with elevated cholesterol have been able to improve their cardiovascular health through diet, exercise and nutraceutical supplements.

One of the nutraceuticals that has been shown in research studies to support normal LDL and total cholesterol levels is red yeast rice.

Red yeast rice is the product of yeast (Monascus purpureus) grown on rice, and is served as a dietary staple in some Asian countries.

It contains several compounds that are collectively known as monacolins which support the mechanisms that can lead to improved cardiovascular health.^† 

It is also important to support healthy liver function when taking this or a Statin.

Therefore, Red Yeast Rice Plus is combined with CoQ10  and standardized milk thistle for added liver support.^†

Benefits of Red Yeast Rice – With CoQ10 & Milk Thistle 

• Red yeast rice has been shown in numerous studies to help support cardiovascular health.†
  Studies have shown that red yeast rice can significantly lower levels of total cholesterol and specifically LDL.^†
• Supports normal triglyceride, LDL and total cholesterol levels.^†
• Cardiac (heart) cells, muscle and cells of the liver have a significant amount of mitochondria and a very large energy requirement. CoQ10 is vital to the energy-producing processes that help maintain normal, healthy heart, muscle and liver function.^†
• Milk thistle’s active ingredient silymarin is effective at protecting the liver from acute and chronic exposure to toxins. Milk thistle has been shown to protect hepatic cells and support overall healthy liver function and detoxification.^†
