What you need to know about cholesterol
Cholesterol is a fatty substance that occurs naturally in our body. It plays a crucial role in cell structures, hormone production and other important biological processes. However, high cholesterol can pose health risks.
What is a healthy cholesterol level?
A normal cholesterol level is important. This can vary due to various factors such as age, gender and lifestyle. Cholesterol is usually measured through a blood test that measures total cholesterol, LDL (low-density lipoprotein), HDL (high-density lipoprotein), and triglycerides. LDL is often considered "bad" cholesterol and high levels can increase certain risks, while HDL is considered "good" cholesterol and can lower risk. The measurement can take place at a GP, in a hospital or in some cases via a self-test. According to the guidelines, optimal cholesterol levels for adults would have a total cholesterol level of less than 200 mg/dL, an LDL level of less than 100 mg/dL and an HDL level of 60 mg/dL or higher. Triglycerides should ideally be below 150 mg/dL. It is important to consult with an expert to get a complete picture of your cholesterol profile and any risk factors.
The power of fermentation
The Red Yeast Rice & Q10 contains two fermented ingredients: red yeast rice and black garlic. Fermentation is a process in which microorganisms convert substances in food, which can result in better shelf life and unique properties. It can lead to changes in taste, texture and nutritional value.
Why red yeast rice?
Red yeast rice is created when white rice ferments with the fungus Monascus purpureus. This results in a red or purple rice that contains a specific substance called monacolin K. The Red Yeast Rice & Q10 tablets have been carefully formulated to deliver 2.5 mg of monacolin K.
The extras of black garlic
Black garlic is regular garlic that has been fermented under high temperature and humidity. This gives the garlic a black color, soft texture and sweet taste. Black garlic is known for its anti-oxidant properties and is often seen as a 'superfood'.
It contains the bioactive substance S-Allyl cysteine. It is a powerful antioxidant and has a beneficial effect on the heart and contributes to a responsible normal cholesterol level.
Coenzyme Q10 added
7.5 mg of coenzyme Q10 has also been added to this composition, a substance that occurs naturally in the body but can decrease as you get older.
Warnings Red Yeast Rice & Q10?
On June 22, 2022, a new EU directive came into effect that limits the amount of monacolin K in red yeast rice supplements. Red yeast rice products may no longer be sold with more than 3 mg monacolin K. This makes it difficult for companies to provide information, as the only approved health claim applies specifically to a dose of 10 mg monacolin K. The European Commission has This guideline has been adjusted as a precaution, based on individual reports of side effects such as muscle pain and gastrointestinal complaints, which resemble the side effects of statins, cholesterol-lowering medications. This new legislation contrasts with results from 53 randomized clinical trials, in which red yeast rice supplements, even at doses higher than 3 mg monacolin K, were considered safe and well tolerated. The risk of complaints is greater in the elderly, because they often also use other medications. These medications may interact with red yeast rice, worsening any symptoms. This means we are forced to put a warning on the packaging that it is not suitable for people over 70 years of age.
Furthermore, it should not be used by children under the age of 18 and pregnant women. Even if you are already taking cholesterol-lowering medications, this product is not recommended.
