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 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). Thus, to help maintain normal levels of CoQ10, the product contains 15 mg of CoQ10 per capsule. In addition, CoQ10 provides antioxidant support.

Natural management of healthy cholesterol levels should involve dietary and lifestyle modifications, including a healthy, whole foods diet and aerobic exercise.
