AOR Red Yeast Rice + Garlic 360mg 60 Capsules
- Red Yeast Rice + Garlic 360mg Helps maintain multiple aspects of cardiovascular health AOR’s Red Yeast Rice + Garlic harnesses the complementary relationship of both ingredients to deliver superior results
- The primary effect of Red Yeast Rice (RYR) is to provide antioxidants that prevent the oxidation of cholesterol that can lead to the formation of plaques
- Oxidized LDL is particularly atherogenic and contributes to plaque formation in the arteries
- Antioxidants Aid healthy blood vessels by maintaining the cholesterol in its normal reduced state
- RYR works synergistically with garlic to dilate blood vessels to allow for smooth blood flow to reduce fats in blood depositing in blood vessels
- AOR uses the patented extract Ankascin 568 which is standardized to two powerful pigments – ankascin and monascin
- These pigments that are formed during the fermentation process, have been studied in increasing LDL receptor production so LDL can enter cells; increase HDL levels and increases the excretion of cholesterol through bile production
- One of the main active compounds in garlic is allicin, which is formed when garlic is crushed or chopped along with other sulfur-containing compounds like diallyl disulfide and S-allyl cysteine
- These compounds are believed to have various effects on lipid metabolism and cholesterol biosynthesis
- Garlic compounds are thought to moderately inhibit the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, and the sulfur-containing compounds in garlic have been shown to have antioxidant properties that may contribute to lowering LDL cholesterol by reducing the oxidation of LDL particles
- Finally, garlic is also thought to have a mild blood-thinning effect, which could improve overall cardiovascular health and reduce the risk of atherosclerotic plaque formation
- AOR Advantage RYR works synergistically with garlic to reduce blood lipid levels, dilate blood vessels for smooth blood flow, and ultimately Aid cardiovascular health
- This patented extract developed in Taiwan by researchers ensures our red yeast rice is statin-free and free of the harmful mycotoxin citrinin
- Helps reduce elevated blood lipid levels Statin and mycotoxin-free red yeast rice extract Helps maintain multiple aspects of cardiovascular health
