Red Yeast Rice – Rice that has been fermented by the yeast Monascus purpureus and has been used in Asia for centuries as a food, preservative, colorant, and flavoring agent, as well as in traditional herbal formulas. It is part of the diet in China, Japan, and Asian communities in the United States. Clinical evidence shows that Red Yeast Rice can reduce total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL or “bad”) cholesterol, and triglycerides. Anyone wishing to benefit from Red Yeast Rice as a dietary supplement should be sure that the product is free of citrinin, a naturally occurring mycotoxin that occurs under poorly controlled conditions. Jarrow Formulas® uses Red Yeast Rice that has been carefully fermented to avoid the presence of citrinin.
Coenzyme Q10 supplements Red Yeast Rice to support cardiovascular health. Jarrow uses the purest and most well-studied CoQ10 ingredient available today. Jarrow Formulas® CoQ10 is derived from yeast fermentation and consists only of the natural trans configuration, the same one synthesized in the human body. It is this bio-identical form to the one produced in the body that has been used in the majority of clinical studies over the past 30 years.
