Red Yeast Rice
Description:Red yeast rice is a type of fermented rice produced by the cultivation of a type of yeast called Monascus purpureus. The rice is soaked in water and then allowed to ferment with the yeast for several weeks. During the fermentation process, the rice turns a deep red color and develops a distinctive, slightly sweet, and sour taste. Red yeast rice has a long history of use in traditional medicine and has been used as a natural remedy for a range of health conditions, including high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and heart disease. Red yeast rice is thought to work by inhibiting the production of cholesterol in the liver and by helping to improve circulation. Red yeast rice contains a compound known as mevinolin, which is identical to the FDA-approved drug lovastatin.

Milk Thistle extract
Description:Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) is a plant belonging to the aster family (Asteraceae). It is native to the Mediterranean region and is widely cultivated in many parts of the world. The plant is known for its milk-white veins on the leaves, which gives it its name. Milk thistle has a long history of use in traditional medicine, and is extremely popular as a dietary supplement, making it one of the most well-known plants in the world. It is purported to have liver-protectant effects and has been used to treat liver disorders such as hepatitis and cirrhosis. It has also been used to treat gallbladder problems and high cholesterol. While there are a number of compounds in milk thistle, one of the active constituents, silymarin, is thought to be responsible for many of its effects, and dietary supplements often report using a standardized amount (generally 70% to 80% silymarin in extracts).

Coenzyme Q10
Description:Coenzyme Q10, also known as CoQ10, is a naturally occurring substance that is found in every cell of the body and plays an essential role in energy production within the mitochondria, which are the powerhouse of the cells. CoQ10 also acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from damage caused by harmful free radicals. While CoQ10 is endogenous, meaning our body can produce it on its own, levels can decrease with age, with certain medications (e.g., statins) or due to certain medical conditions. In such cases, supplementation with CoQ10 may be beneficial. Additionally, CoQ10 supplements have been studied for a variety of health benefits, including improving heart health, reducing inflammation, and potentially even aiding in the treatment of neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease. However, it's important to note that while some studies have shown potential benefits, the research on CoQ10 supplementation is still ongoing, and more studies are needed to fully understand its effects on the body.

- Cholesterol support
- Dietary supplement and guide
- Nutritive Support to Help: Sustain cardiovascular health Protect circulatory system
- What is Cholesterol? Cholesterol is a soft, waxy substance found in all parts of the body. This includes the nervous system, skin, muscle, liver, intestines, and heart. It is made by the body and can also be ingested from animal products in the diet. Cholesterol is manufactured in the liver for normal body functions, including the production of hormones, cell membranes, digestive juices, and vitamin D. It is transported in the blood throughout the body. In foods, cholesterol is found in eggs, dairy products, meat, and poultry. Foods of plant origin (vegetables, fruits, grains, cereals, nuts, and seeds) contain no cholesterol.
- How to Manage Cholesterol
Know your levels of HDL and LDL (the good and bad cholesterol) by testing and talking to your health care provider.
Limit total saturated fat intake.
Get more fiber in the diet.
If overweight, lose weight with a sensible healthy weight loss program.
Increase physical activity by exercising regularly.
Increase intake of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Increase intake of wild-caught cold water fish.
- Cholesterol and Cardiovascular Health Your body needs a constant supply of oxygen to function normally. The cardiovascular system consists of the heart, lungs, and blood vessels, and the blood that circulates through them. The heart and circulatory system make up your cardiovascular system and work in tandem with respiratory and other systems. Your heart works as a pump that pushes blood to the organs, tissues, and cells of your body. Blood delivers oxygen and nutrients to every cell and removes the carbon dioxide and waste products made by those cells.
Cholesterol deposits can build in the cardiovascular system causing the delicate balance between the heart, blood flow, and respiration to be affected.
Excessive cholesterol and triglycerides in the body can harm the heart, and damage the circulatory system which can negatively impact the entire body. Getting plenty of exercise, eating a nutritious diet, maintaining healthy cholesterol levels and a healthy weight, and getting regular medical checkups are the best ways to stay healthy and avoid long-term health problems.
