What is Co-Q10 with Red Yeast Rice
Cholesterol is a soft waxy substance that is a natural component of the fats in the bloodstream and is used by all the cells of the body – it is important to rebuild cell membranes and to the production of hormones. There are two kinds, often classified as “good” (high-density lipoproteins or HDL) – which actually works to protect our hearts - and “bad” (low-density lipoproteins or LDL). Bad cholesterol in the blood means there is too much fat present, which can often create a plaque build-up within the blood. This significantly raises the risk of heart disease and its ailments, including heart attack, stroke, failure, and death. Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death worldwide.
Co-Q10 with Red Yeast Rice is a combined formulation of two potent, natural ingredients that work together to help lower levels of bad cholesterol and to promote overall cardiovascular health.
- Co-Q10 is a naturally-occurring
compound found in every cell in the body. C-Q10's alternate name,
ubiquinone, comes from the word ubiquitous, which means "found
everywhere."Co-Q10 plays a key role in producing energy in the
mitochondria, the part of a cell responsible for the production our
body’s energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate.
Supplementing with Co-Q10 is thought to increase energy production
in the heart muscle, raising the strength of the pumping action.
This can reduce symptoms related to heart failure, such as
shortness of breath, difficulty sleeping, and swelling.
- Red Yeast Rice is a substance made by fermenting a type of red yeast called Monascus purpureus over rice, bread, brans and cereals. It has been used in the Orient for many centuries to color and flavor food and beverages, and in traditional Chinese medicine to treat poor circulation, indigestion and diarrhea.Red Yeast Rice works much in the same way that statins work: by producing a substance called monocolins that inhibits HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme that triggers good cholesterol production. In fact, the primary ingredient in conventional bad cholesterol lowering statins, lovastatin, was originally derived from a type of red yeast.
Common causes of high cholesterol
levels
Common causes include eating foods that are high in saturated fats and cholesterol, leading an inactive lifestyle and being overweight.
Unfortunately there are often no common symptoms of high
cholesterol. The only way to find out if you have high cholesterol
is through a cholesterol test. A cholesterol test is a blood test
that will look at the key lipids, or fats, that are in the
blood.
How does Co-Q10 with Red Yeast Rice work
For people with high cholesterol levels, conventional doctors often prescribe a class of drug called statins, which can help lower cholesterol in the blood, and reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke. There are risks associated with taking statins, including life-threatening muscle damage, liver damage, as well as nausea, diarrhea or constipation.
Co-Q10 with Red Yeast Rice contains two powerful ingredients proven to help lower cholesterol levels, improve cardiovascular health, and prevent obesity.
Co-Q10 plays a key role in producing energy in the mitochondria, the part of a cell responsible for the production our body’s energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate. Research has shown that people with heart failure have been found to have lower levels of Co-Q10 in heart muscle cells, and supplementing with Co-Q10 is thought to increase energy production in the heart muscle, raising the strength of the pumping action. This can reduce symptoms related to heart failure, such as shortness of breath, difficulty sleeping, and swelling.
Red Yeast Rice works much in the same way that statins work: by producing a substance called monocolins that inhibits HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme that triggers good cholesterol production. In fact, the primary ingredient in conventional bad cholesterol lowering statins, lovastatin, was originally derived from a type of red yeast.
Co-Q10 with Red Yeast Rice combines these ingredients to increase the transfer of energy and oxygen between blood and body cells, and inhibit the production of cholesterol by stopping a key enzyme in the liver that is responsible for manufacturing cholesterol.
Will Co-Q10 with Red Yeast Rice really lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels?
Yes. Clinical trials have revealed that Co-Q10 improved the function of the heart, while red yeast rice lowered triglycerides in those found with elevated levels.
How long does it take before I see results?
You should see cholesterol levels lowering within 3 to 6
months.
Can I take Co-Q10 with Red Yeast Rice with prescription drugs?
In some cases, Co-Q10 with Red Yeast Rice may affect the dose
and activity of the other medications you are taking for health
conditions such as cardiovascular disease. If you have been
diagnosed with high cholesterol or are currently taking
prescription drugs, consult your doctor prior to use.
Does taking Co-Q10 with Red Yeast Rice cause any side effects?
There have been rare cases of stomach upset, nausea, gas, and
diarrhea reported by persons taking high doses of Co-Q10 with Red
Yeast Rice.
What is the recommended dosage?
Take 1 soft gel, one to two times daily with a meal.
Does Co-Q10 with Red Yeast Rice come with a Guarantee?
All of our products come with a 90-day, money-back
guarantee.
