Phytosterol with Q10

Description

Red yeast rice contains an extract with the active substance Monacolin K. This substance has been shown (at a daily dose of 10 mg) to be beneficial in maintaining normal blood cholesterol levels. Due to convincing evidence, this health claim has been approved by EFSA.

Q10 is described as a c0-eczyme (also called ubiquinol). This is a fat-soluble substance and acts as an antioxidant in cell membranes and lipoproteins. Supports the immune system and supports liver, heart and blood vessels. Q10 intake decreases especially in older age.

The combination of these 2 ingredients are always necessary because otherwise the Monacolin K from the Red Yeast Rice, withdraws Q10 from the body. Thus, everything is neatly balanced and optimization of absorption in the body of the necessary ingredients is guaranteed.

Research has shown that about 23% of Dutch people between the ages of 30 and 70 suffer from elevated cholestherol levels. This is partly due to a chosen lifestyle but it is also quite possible that it is congenital.

Elevated cholestherol is difficult to recognize in everyday life, but it can eventually lead to arteriosclerosis. So it is important to prevent it!

Medications are not always necessary to lower your cholesterol. A healthy lifestyle has a great effect on cholesterol levels. Healthy diet, quitting smoking and getting enough exercise all have an impact and are possible for everyone. People with a healthy lifestyle thus have a reduced risk of arteriosclerosis.
