50% More Red Yeast Rice Extract
Red yeast rice has been fermented with a yeast called Monascus purpureus, which gives it a characteristic reddish purple colour. It has been used in China and Japan for centuries as an ingredient to season, preserve or colour food. Red yeast rice naturally contains monacolin K. Several scientific studies have shown that a minimum of 10 mg of monacolin K per day is a natural alternative to maintain healthy cholesterol levels.
Monacolin K in minimum 80% Hydroxy-Acid Form
Monacolin K comes in two molecular forms: lactone and hydroxy-acid. Monacolin K in its 80% hydroxy- acid form has a tremendous advantage, as it does not need to be converted in your body and is immediately active - it is the most potent form to help you lower ‘bad’ cholesterol. There still is another benefit: monacolin K in hydroxy-acid form allows your body to fully use the available amount of coenzyme Q10 present in your cells or supplied by food. So with CholeRice + ChoLive you do not need to take extra coenzyme Q10, whereas monacolin K in lactone form does not offer this advantage.
6X more Olive Extract
We enhanced this top quality red yeast rice with special polyphenols from olive fruit - mainly hydroxytyrosol. This superb olive fruit extract acts as an antioxidant and protects the blood lipids, especially the ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol, against oxidative stress. This beneficial effect occurs with a daily dose of minimum 5 mg hydroxytyrosol or 20 g (about 22 ml) high quality olive oil. CholeRice + ChoLive contains no less than 30 mg hydroxytyrosol, corresponding to a daily use of van 120 g (or 132 ml) olive oil.
