Cholesterol Management made easy! Cardio-K is a food supplement with approved claims to help maintain normal LDL cholesterol concentration by EFSA (European Food Safety Authority). Clinical studies have shown the effects of red yeast rice preparations with a known 10mg Monacolin K content reduce both LDL concentrations & also total cholesterol levels. The European Food Safety Authority has recently approved Monacolin K (nature's statin) as an ingredient that can help maintain normal LDL cholesterol levels. Monacolins are naturally occurring substances found in Red Yeast Rice, however, it is Monacolin K that is the active ingredient that works in a very similar way to some pharmaceutical grade statins, & the big difference being it is naturally present not chemically manufactured. Red Yeast Rice is made by fermenting a type of red yeast called Monascus Purpureus over rice. Several studies have shown good evidence that Monacolin K present in red yeast rice can significantly lower total & "bad" LDL cholesterol levels. Two clinical studies recently submitted to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) show taking 7.5mg of Monacolin K per day for 12 weeks can reduce LDL levels by up to 22% & taking 11.4mg per day for 8 weeks can reduce LDL by up to 26%.
