Natural effective strategy to manage cholesterol, triglycerides levels and C-reactive protein values.
Red yeast rice (RYR) consists of a multitude of compounds including polyketides, unsaturated fatty acids, phytosterols, pigments, and monacolins. Fermentation of red rice by the yeast Monascus purpureus produces, among the others, monacolin K, a monacolin that is structurally and functionally similar to lovastatin. Monacolin K is able to inhibit HMGCoA reductase and cholesterol synthesis. However, the cholesterol-lowering efficacy of RYR might be only in part attributable to monacolin K.
CARDIOSTATTM includes ROSSOPURO® FORTE, an enhanced form of RYR that contains bioactive compounds naturally found in rice. Each tablet has an extended-release system that provide rapid and sustained release of the active ingredients for maximum benefits.
