New CHOLESTEROL LISTER+ 60 capsules

Red yeast rice

Red rice yeast is obtained through a fermentation of rice that has proven capabilities in maintaining cholesterol levels, due to the presence of a substance (Monacoline K), acting in the body as an inhibitor of cholesterol-generating enzymes. It is an all-natural remedy to tackle the high level of cholesterol and triglycerides. Red rice yeast has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, combats high levels of triglycerides and promotes better digestion and normalization of blood pressure. Since red yeast is a natural substance that works in synergy with the body and its processes, it is one of the best remedies for lowering cholesterol, as it does not produce the side effects of drugs and other artificial health treatments. But it must be kept in mind that, although red yeast rice attacks the real cause of the problem, it must be taken continuously, as it cannot make the body regulate itself without its presence.
