Food supplement with red yeast grown on rice, coenzyme Q10, dry grape and olive extract, enriched with vitamins. Designed to help maintain normal cholesterol and homocysteine levels, providing protection to the cardiovascular system.
Benefits:
-According to official health claims by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), red rice yeast (Red Yeast Rice) contains the active ingredient monocoline K which helps maintain normal cholesterol levels when taken at least 10mg daily, but experts stress that do not take more than 3 mg of monocoline per day.
-B-complex vitamins and in particular the combination of folic acid, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 significantly help in the normal metabolism of homocysteine. High levels of homocysteine in the blood are implicated as causative factors in the development of atherosclerosis and are also associated with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
In addition, thiamine, also known as B1, contributes to the normal functioning of the heart.
-According to studies, coenzyme Q10 is an antioxidant with cardioprotective action, which contributes to the production of energy at the cellular level. According to research, taking statins causes a decrease in the synthesis of CoQ10 by the body and often the result is an increase in myalgias.
-Dry grape and olive plant extracts are powerful antioxidants that protect the capillaries and endothelium. In fact, according to studies, olive polyphenols help protect blood lipids from oxidative stress.
