Key Facts

• Red yeast rice + CoQ10 combines two ingredients that work on cholesterol and heart health through different mechanisms — one targets cholesterol production, the other protects cellular energy in heart tissue
• Red yeast rice contains monacolins, compounds that naturally inhibit cholesterol synthesis, while CoQ10 replenishes levels that may decline with age or statin use
• This formulation is designed with minimal citrinin (a potential contaminant), making it a safer choice for long-term cardiovascular support

Ingredients

Coenzyme Q10, Red Yeast Rice, Hypromellose Capsule, Leucine.

Why We Chose This

Red yeast rice + CoQ10 addresses a real gap: people seeking natural cholesterol support without pharmaceutical side effects. The pairing is deliberate — red yeast rice's monacolins work similarly to statins by slowing cholesterol production, while CoQ10 protects heart cells from oxidative stress and compensates for CoQ10 depletion that can occur with age. This Thorne formulation stands out for its attention to purity, keeping citrinin levels low to ensure safety with regular use. The combination reflects current evidence on cardiovascular aging and offers a research-backed alternative for those prioritizing natural approaches to lipid management.
