STATIN PLUS 60 capsules

• COENZIME Q10 AND MONAKOLINE K in a 4:1 ratio
• HELPS MAINTAIN NORMAL HDL CHOLESTEROL LEVELS
• NATURAL ALTERNATIVE TO CHEMICAL STATINS

STATIN PLUS StatinPlus is a dietary supplement containing Bergamot (grown in Calabria, Italy), Cassia Nomame , fermented red rice and coenzyme Q10. Bergamot extract, is a very valuable aid against cholesterol. In fact it helps maintain proper LDL cholesterol levels while increasing those of HDL cholesterol because the flavonoids it contains act as "natural statins" that have the ability to inhibit the enzyme HMGCoA-reductase, which plays a key role in the biosynthesis of cholesterol by the liver. Cassia Nomame contains a high amount of Catechins (Flavonoids) and Polyphenols that act as lipase inhibitors, thus blocking the pancreatic enzymes responsible for the assimilation of fats in the intestine (triglycerides and exogenous cholesterol). In this way, unsynthesized fat molecules move along the gastrointestinal tract and are excreted, without entering the bloodstream or being deposited in tissues, thus lowering Cholesterol and Triglyceride levels in the blood. Fermented Red Rice is rich in Monacolin K which mimics the chemical structure and pharmacological action of Lovastatin. Supplementation with fermented red rice has been shown to be effective in normalizing levels of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglyceridemia. Studies have shown that fermented red rice is more effective than administration of equivalent doses of lovastatin, demonstrating the hypolipidemic action of monacolin K; in addition, fermented red rice appears to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, such as atherosclerosis. Since HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, including monacolin k, lower Ubiquinone synthesis. Coenzyme Q10, in case of prolonged use, supplementation of this element is appropriate, which becomes even more important when considering its positive action on the health of the human body. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an intracellular antioxidant that protects phospholipid membranes, mitochondrial membrane proteins, and LDL from oxidative free radical damage. Many studies have found that low levels of coenzyme Q10 make individuals more susceptible to the onset of cardiovascular diseases such as coronary artery disease. When statins are used for a prolonged period of time, side effects such as muscle pain and soreness can occur; these pains seem to be attributable to a deficiency of Coenzyme Q10. This is precisely why Statin Plus contains 40 mg per capsule of Coenzyme Q10, which is important for coping with the depletion contributed by the statin in Fermented Red Rice.
