Monacolin K 50 mg, 60 capsule

Description

Monacolina K – A Natural Balance for the Cardiovascular System

Monacolina K is commonly referred to as the plant-based equivalent of statins, medications used to treat abnormal cholesterol levels in the blood, particularly excess LDL cholesterol. An abnormal ratio of cholesterol fractions can increase the risk of heart diseases.

Monacolina is naturally found in fermented red yeast rice and oyster mushrooms. Its mechanism of action is based on reducing the activity of HMG-CoA reductase, the liver enzyme responsible for cholesterol production and regulating its concentration. It is currently known as the most potent supplement that works similarly to statins with a wide-ranging effect: it can reduce total cholesterol levels by up to 15-25% within 6 weeks of use. In some individuals, studies have also reported a decrease in triglycerides and hs-CRP levels, a reduction in arterial stiffness, and an improvement in vascular endothelial function, significantly lowering the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

The high dosage allows for the convenience of taking one capsule per day, and it is worth noting that it is a standardized extract of the highest quality.

Characteristics:

• Standardized extract of the highest quality
• Known as a natural statin
• Lowers total cholesterol levels and LDL fraction by up to 25%
• Reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases
• Decreases arterial stiffness

Dosage and Contents:

Each package contains 60 capsules of the supplement, with a recommended dosage of one capsule per day to achieve optimal results.
