Supplement Facts:

Red Yeast Rice has been used as a food product and a medicine in China since the 9th century. Then, it was prescribed for healthy circulation, digestive disorders, and congestion of the spleen. Today, Red Yeast Rice has been found to be very effective in reducing LDL-cholesterol and triglyceride levels. CoQ10 , also known as Coenzyme Q-10, is important in the conversion of food to energy in cells. It has been linked to improving heart health and cholesterol reduction. Phytosterols are cholesterol-like compounds found in a variety of plants

Red Yeast Rice is composed of rice upon which red yeast has been grown. This product has been used in China as a food product and a medicine for over a thousand years. Red Yeast Rice has been used as a flavoring, as a flavor and color preservative for fish and meat, and to make rice wine. In Chinese medicine, Red Yeast Rice was prescribed for circulatory problems, problems of the spleen, colic, hangovers, and as a digestive aid. Recently, Red Yeast Rice has been studied extensively for its role in cholesterol reduction. It contains many beneficial constituents including protein, fiber, fatty acids, sterols, and several forms of monacolin, including monacolin K. Monacolin K has been shown to halt a key enzyme manufactured in the liver that is responsible for cholesterol production much in the same way as popular prescription drugs. Researchers believe that other as yet undiscovered components of Red Yeast Rice work synergistically with monacolin K to reduce LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides, while raising levels of HDL-cholesterol

Coenzyme Q-10, also known as CoQ10 and ubiquitone, is a naturally occurring enzyme that is found in every cell in the body. It is concentrated mostly in heart and liver tissue. Coenzyme Q-10 and other metabolic enzymes are responsible for the conversion of food, water, and oxygen into energy used by cells. As we age, the body begins to lose its ability to manufacture Coenzyme Q-10 in the amounts necessary to meet the needs or our body's cells. Supplementing with Coenzyme Q-10 should help the body's cells manufacture the energy they need to stay alive. This should lead to a healthier heart, liver, and immune system, as well as the other benefits of traditional antioxidants. Coenzyme Q-10 has been the subject of numerous studies to determine its efficacy in treating Parkinson's disease, diabetes, heart attack, hypertension, high cholesterol, gum disease, and migraine headaches. The most promising results are in the areas of heart health and cholesterol reduction. Coenzyme Q-10 is also believed to be a natural energy booster.

Phytosterols are cholesterol-like molecules found in all plant foods, with the highest concentrations occurring in vegetable oils. They are absorbed only in trace amounts but inhibit the absorption of intestinal cholesterol including recirculating endogenous biliary cholesterol, a key step in cholesterol elimination.
