Cautions
- Consult your doctor before taking with cholesterol-lowering medication.
Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for varied diet. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking any medications or under medical supervision, please consult a doctor before use. Discontinue and consult a doctor if adverse reactions occur.
Recommended for adults.
Important Note: Whilst red yeast rice is a natural ingredient it should be noted that monacolin K, the main active compound in red yeast rice, can cause similar side effects to statins, particularly lovastatin. For example, muscle pain and weakness and gastrointestinal disruption.
However, red yeast rice extract’s synergistic actions could help to avoid the side effects similar to statins when taken at the correct dosage. It is, therefore, vital to know the monacolin K content of your red yeast rice supplement.
If unsure please contact us or speak to your GP. If any side effects are noticed, discontinue taking.
Storage
- Keep cool, dry, sealed & out of direct sunlight.
What can Red Yeast Rice Do?
- Red yeast rice extract is produced by fermenting rice with a type of yeast called Monascus purpureus.
- It contains Monacolin K, which acts in an identical way to statins.
- Monacolin K has been shown to reduce LDL (bad cholesterol) levels and lower blood pressure.

What Can Coenzyme Q10 do?
- CoQ10 is an antioxidant and is used by cells to produce energy.
- It is produced naturally in the body, but levels reduce as we age.
- Levels are further reduced by taking statins, which themselves have adverse side effects.

What Can Policosanol do?
- Policosanol is a waxy substance extracted from some plants such as sugar cane.
- It has been shown to lower LDL (“bad” cholesterol) and raise HDL (“good” cholesterol), as well as improve blood flow.
- It has also been shown to have multiple health-improving properties, such as anti-ageing and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular protection.
