Cholesterol Care Health Benefits Formulation Features: One of the few organic red yeast rice products cultivated in the US. Provides a unique combination of herbs to optimize the metabolism of lipids and lipoprotein production by supporting liver function. Organic Reishi supports mitochondrial activity to energize heart function. Milk thistle aids the liver with processing lipids to preserve healthy blood ﬂow and healthy bile secretion. Milk thistle and CoQ10 provide antioxidant eﬀects. Red yeast rice and milk thistle help prevent the oxidation of LDL cholesterol. Cholesterol Care is a comprehensive blend that targets healthy blood lipid metabolism, liver function, circulation, and oxidative metabolism. Key Ingredients Organic Red Yeast Rice (Monascus purpureus) Our organic red yeast rice is cultivated in the US and is naturally high in active compounds without using toxic solvents, unlike other sources typically imported from China. There have been instances where imported RYR has been found to be spiked with statin drugs to enhance the naturally occurring compound. We test every batch to ensure there are no detectable levels of citrinin, a mycotoxin that can contaminate lower-quality red yeast rice products. Red yeast rice contains polyphenols responsible for its distinctive red pigment. Modern research has demonstrated that Red Yeast Rice may optimize lipoprotein metabolism and support the healthy metabolism of oxidized lipoproteins by neutralizing free radicals. It supports balanced inﬂammation in the blood vessels. Cholesterol Care is holistically formulated to support the various systems that regulate cholesterol metabolism, including the liver. Organic Reishi (Lingzhi Ganoderma lucidum) Mycelium and Fruiting Body Cardiovascular performance correlates with mitochondrial energy production in cardiac muscle cells. Reishi mushrooms have been shown to protect against mitochondrial dysfunction and to increase the production of heart-protective compounds (HDL). Reishi supports Krebs cycle enzymes and electron transport in heart muscle mitochondria, also serving to protect against oxidative damage and support. This Reishi mushroom is cultivated in the US and grown on organic brown rice. Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum) Whole milk thistle has been shown to balance cholesterol metabolism in the liver. The active compound silymarin from milk thistle is an antioxidant and protects and supports hepatocytes (liver cells). The liver plays a key role in cholesterol metabolism. Our milk thistle extract is 56% silymarin as tested using the most accurate method, HPLC. Most milk thistle extract products claim to contain 80% silymarin. However, standard tests use UV spectrometry, a less expensive testing method that overinﬂates silymarin content. CoQ10 CoQ10 is an antioxidant and is necessary for essential cell function. There is concern in medical research that statin medications can deplete CoQ10 levels, so it is added as an extra precaution. Supplementation Adults take 1 to 3 vegi-capsules twice daily or as recommended by your health care practitioner.
