Maintaining Healthy LDL Cholesterol
Maintaining an optimal LDL cholesterol is an important component of maintaining good cardiovascular health.
Numerous studies in China and the United States have concluded that preparations of red yeast rice help to maintain blood cholesterol levels already in the normal range.
Thorne's Red Yeast Rice + CoQ10 contains Monascus purpureus, a red-pigmented yeast grown on rice. The same enzymes involved in cholesterol synthesis are also involved in the synthesis of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10).
- To help maintain normal levels of CoQ10, the product contains 15 mg of CoQ10 per capsule.
- In addition, CoQ10 provides antioxidant support.
Natural Management for Healthy Cholesterol Levels
A natural approach to managing cholesterol levels should involve:
- Dietary and lifestyle modifications
- Following a healthy, whole foods diet
- Engaging in aerobic exercise
Consistent Ingredient Quality
Thorne's Red Yeast Rice + CoQ10 contains consistent amounts of the naturally occurring monacolins found in red yeast rice – without standardisation or fortification.
Thorne ensures quality by:
- Measuring every ingredient to comply with strict GMP standards
- Determining the ingredient's identity, purity, strength, and composition
In addition to monacolins, red yeast rice contains:
- Phytosterols such as beta-sitosterol, campesterol, and stigmasterol
- Isoflavones
- Trace minerals
These compounds contribute to good cardiovascular health.
Quality and Purity
Thorne's Red Yeast Rice + CoQ10's quality and purity is unsurpassed. Red yeast rice is produced through a well-known fermentation process. A byproduct of this process is citrinin, a mycotoxin.
- Although Thorne's supplier's process results in a low citrinin content, Thorne goes further to ensure the safety of its product.
- Thorne's Red Yeast Rice products contains less than 1/20th of the industry standard for citrinin.
- Mycotoxins like citrinin can cause inflammation and other adverse effects, so Thorne's products are rigorously tested.
Take 1-2 capsules two times daily, with food, or as recommended by your health professional.
