Supports Cholesterol Wellness. Red Yeast Rice is a natural compound that supports cholesterol wellness. Source Naturals Red Yeast Rice is standardized to 1.5% mixed mevinolinic acid monacolins. These monacolins inhibit the normal synthesis of cholesterol in the body by binding to the cholesterol production enzyme HMG-CoA reductase. Red Yeast Rice may lower Coenzyme Q10 levels similar to statin cholesterol lowering drugs and it is recommended that you consume at least 100 mg per day of CoQ10 supplements that may provide other cardiovascular benefits as well.
