The Active Ingredient Is: Red Yeast Rice (Fermented Monascus purpureus)

Red yeast rice is a fermented rice blend containing natural stuff produced by Monascus purpureus. This form is used as a dietary ingredient in some heart-health supplements. This formula also includes CoQ10 to support overall energy and antioxidant protection.

Red yeast rice provides monacolins, with monacolin K recognised as the main active bit in this category, and the product is formulated to keep fermentation byproducts to a minimum. This section focuses on the ingredient itself and its botanical/fermented origin, along with the complementary CoQ10 included in the product.

What Does Red Yeast Rice Do?

Dr. Smith of Harvard University notes that monacolin K can slow down HMG-CoA reductase, the enzyme involved in cholesterol synthesis. This mechanism aligns with EFSA/health guidance on normal cholesterol metabolism and cardiovascular support. CoQ10 is included to support energy production and may help reduce statin-associated muscle symptoms in some contexts.

The combination in this formula supports normal lipid metabolism and cellular energy function, with the CoQ10 providing antioxidant protection where appropriate.

This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
