Maintaining healthy LDL cholesterol is crucial for heart health. While effective cholesterol management should include diet and lifestyle changes, such as a whole-foods diet tailored to individual needs and regular aerobic exercise, a high-quality dietary supplement like Thorne’s Red Yeast Rice provides extra support.*
Thorne’s Red Yeast Rice is formulated with Monascus purpureus, a red-pigmented yeast naturally produced on fermented rice. Numerous studies in both China and the U.S. show that red yeast rice supports cholesterol levels already within the normal range.*
The same enzymes involved in the synthesis of cholesterol are also involved in the synthesis of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). Thus, to help maintain normal levels of CoQ10, we recommend also supplementing daily with Thorne's CoQ10.
