Red Yeast Rice Q10 A naturally fermented yeast strain shown to be especially supportive to cardiovascular health. 90 Veggie Caps - Product Code: 67464 Who might benefit from the use of this product? • Those with high cholesterol, high triglycerides and other heart contitions. Ingredients: Each vegetarian capsule contains Certified Organic Red Yeast Rice (Monascus purpureus) 600mg, CoQ10 (Ubiquinone) 30mg. The capsule contains Modified Vegetable Cellulose. Indications: Red Yeast Rice is produced by fermenting yeast (Monascus purpureus) over rice. It has a long history of use in Chinese medicine to lower cholesterol, improve blood circulation, and help digestion. Studies report that Red Yeast Rice can lower low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, total cholesterol, and triglycerides by inhibiting the enzyme HMG- CoA reductace, which helps the body make cholesterol. Red Yeast Rice naturally contains similar compounds (monacolins) as those contained in statin medications (pharmaceuticals used to lower cholesterol). The difference is that statins are synthetically manufactured drugs, whereas the compounds found in Red Yeast Rice are naturally occurring. Researchers are uncertain as to whether Red Yeast Rice is effective because of its natural statin-like compounds or if it is other constituents in it, such as sterols, isoflavones, and monounsaturated fatty acids, that are responsible. It is important to avoid Red Yeast Rice products that may be low quality and may contain citrinin, a contaminate that can cause kidney failure and genetic damage to cells. Citrin is formed when Red Yeast Rice is not fermented properly. In addition, much of the Red Yeast Rice on the market, especially imported Red Yeast Rice, is processed with heat, which diminishes its activity. Phyto-Tech™ uses a high quality Organic Red Yeast Rice produced in the United States that is cold-processed in order to maintain purity, potency, safety, and a high activity level. Every batch is tested to insure no citrinin is present and monacolins are consistent as a natural product. Because Red Yeast Rice is a natural type of statin and inhibits the enzyme in the body that is needed to make cholesterol, like statins drugs, it blocks the body’s ability to produce Coenzyme Q-10 (Co-Q10). If one is taking statin drugs or Red Yeast Rice, Co-Q10 should also be taken to avoid depletion. Co-Q10 is required for the production of energy within every cell of our body and is critical for the health of all tissues and organs. It acts as a catalyst to the electron transport chain in the mitochondria of our cells where ATP (adenosine triphosphate) energy is produced. Co-Q10 is especially important for the health of the heart due to the organ’s high-energy demands. It can benefit anyone experiencing cardiovascular problems such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, angina, arrhythmias or congestive heart failure. Co-Q10 improves overall heart function by enhancing energy production, inhibiting blood clot formation, improving the heart’s pumping action, and preventing the oxidation of LDL (bad cholesterol). Contra-indications and Cautions: Pregnancy and Nursing Dosage: Take 1 capsule, 1-2 times per day, or as directed.

Product Reference Guide: Willner Chemists Phyto-Tech™ Herbal Supplements Magnesium Reduced Peripheral Artery Disease T art cherry contains powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory anthocyanins and polyphenols, as well as fiber. This is not unique, of course, to tart cherry the same can be said of most highly colored berries, fruits, etc. In this study, 11 men and women, average age 49, with three of five factors in metabolic syndrome-including large waist size, high triglycerides, low levels of HDL cholesterol, high blood pressure, and high fasting blood sugar levels-took a placebo or tart cherry juice concentrate or capsules equal to 90 to 110 whole tart cherries. In three sessions separated by two weeks each, participants fasted for 10 hours the night before taking one of the three treatments at 7:00 a.m. the following morning. Compared to the placebo phases, two hours after taking either form of tart cherry, participants saw significantly lower insulin and systolic blood pressure levels. (I'm not sure just how significant, or practical, this study is, but you can draw your own conclusions. Don Goldberg) (Reference: Journal of Functional Foods; 2019, Vol. 57, 286-98) Tart Cherry and Metabolism P eripheral artery disease (PAD) narrows arteries distant from the heart; most often affecting the legs, but also the arms and gut. In this large study, the first of its kind, doctors followed 13,826 adults for an average of 24 years, screening each for circulating magnesium levels every three years. Participants began the study without PAD. Overall, those whose magnesium levels were no higher than 1.4 milliequivalents per liter of blood (mEq/L) were 38 percent more likely to have developed peripheral artery disease (PAD) over the study period compared to those whose magnesium levels were at least 1.8 mEq/L. To isolate the health effects of magnesium, doctors adjusted for other factors that raise chances for PAD, including smoking, diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure, and still found an independent link between peripheral artery disease (PAD) and low magnesium levels in both men and women. (Reference: Atherosclerosis; 2019, Vol. 282, 196-201) This is one of several reasons why the amount of magnesium in Willvite by Willner Chemists was increased, and the amount of calcium was decreased. Willvite is unique in that, at the full dosage, it provides proper levels of both vitamins and minerals, all in one product. It is available in a regular form, with iron, and in an iron-free version.
