Lipotrienols RYR™ is a powerful combination of natural substances intended to support normal blood lipid levels and optimize cardiac and vascular health.
Red yeast rice is the product of yeast (Monascus purpureus) containing several compounds collectively known as monacolins, substances known to support normal blood lipid levels. One of these, monacolin K, is a potent inhibitor of the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme.
Highlights:
High delta-fraction tocotrienols – shown to have an ability to suppress the activity of HMG-CoA reductase
Certified organic red yeast rice– rich in monocolins known for their effect on modulating blood lipids
Lycopene – shown in studies to reduce low density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation
Sunflower Lecithin - enhances absorption of these fat soluble compounds
The red yeast rice in Lipotrienols RYR™ is USDA certified organic and grown in the US. We take great care to assay our red yeast rice to assure that there are substantial levels of naturally-occurring monocolin compounds (4 mg per 2 capsule serving) as well as undetectable levels of citrinin (< 1 ppm, where the detection limit of is 2 ppb). Citrinin is a secondary metabolite and potential contaminant found in various foods such as cheese, wheat, barley, red yeast rice, and apple.
