Red yeast rice and LDL cholesterol reduction: a meta analysis of randomized controlled trials
American Journal of Cardiology, 2012
Three complementary ingredients in one capsule to help maintain cholesterol levels already within a normal range and support cardiovascular health.
Each ingredient supports cholesterol metabolism through a distinct mechanism.
Red Yeast Rice (monacolin K) supports the reduction of cholesterol synthesis in the liver, where approximately 70โ80% of the body's cholesterol is produced.
Free Plant Sterols compete with cholesterol for absorption in the small intestine, helping reduce the amount of cholesterol absorbed from food and bile.
Policosanol from sugarcane wax provides complementary support alongside the other two ingredients.
Together, these three ingredients address both hepatic cholesterol synthesis and intestinal cholesterol absorption.
Red Yeast Rice is produced by fermenting white rice with the mold Monascus purpurea. This process produces monacolin K, which inhibits HMG-CoA reductase the enzyme the liver uses to synthesize cholesterol. This formula is standardized to 0.2% monacolin K, providing 0.5 mg per capsule.
Long term use may reduce coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) levels. Discuss CoQ10 supplementation with your healthcare practitioner if using this product long term.
Plant sterols are naturally occurring compounds in plant cell membranes that are structurally similar to cholesterol. In the small intestine, they compete with cholesterol for absorption, helping reduce the amount of cholesterol that enters the bloodstream. This formula provides 375 mg of free plant sterols per capsule from soybean, including beta sitosterol, campesterol, and stigmasterol.
