Helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels and supports cardiovascular health*

Red Yeast Rice helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels and healthy lipid particle size and number.* It includes CoQ10 for added antioxidant support.*

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 containsÃÆ€™Ãƒ€ Ã¢‚¬„¢ÃƒÆ’€ ÃƒÆ’Æ€™¢Ãƒ¢Ã¢€š¬Ã…¡¬ÃƒÆ’€¦¡ÃƒÆ’Æ€™Ãƒ€ Ã¢‚¬„¢Ã‚¡ 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). Thus, to help maintain normal levels of CoQ10, the product contains 15 mg of CoQ10 per capsule.* In addition, CoQ10 provides antioxidant support.*

Red Yeast Rice + CoQ10's quality and purity is unsurpassed. It contains less than 1/20th of the industry standard for citrinin, a mycotoxin created as a byproduct from the fermentation of rice (read more about this in Additional Information).

Red yeast rice is obtained by a well-known process that ferments rice. One of the natural by-products of the rice fermentation process is citrinin, which is a mycotoxin. Although the sophisticated fermentation process used by our supplier results in a very low amount of citrinin being produced as a by-product, because mycotoxins can cause inflammation and other adverse effects in the body, we provide our practitioner-customers and their patients with the assurance that Thorne's two red yeast rice products contain only a minimal, yet acceptable amount of citrinin.
