Levure de riz rouge + ail

- Promotes cardiovascular health
- Helps reduce high blood lipid levels
- Helps maintain multiple aspects of cardiovascular health
- Red yeast rice extract without statins and mycotoxins
AOR Red Yeast Rice + Garlic harnesses the complementary relationship of the two ingredients to deliver superior results. The main effect of red yeast rice (RYR) is to provide antioxidants that prevent cholesterol oxidation which can lead to plaque formation. Oxidized LDL is particularly atherogenic and contributes to plaque formation in the arteries. Antioxidants support healthy blood vessels by maintaining cholesterol in its normal reduced state. RYR works synergistically with garlic to dilate blood vessels to allow smooth blood flow to reduce fats in the blood that are deposited in blood vessels.
AOR uses the patented Ankascin 568® extract which is standardized into two powerful pigments – ankascin and monascin. These pigments, which form during the fermentation process, have been studied in increasing the production of LDL receptors so that LDL can enter cells; raise HDL levels and increases cholesterol excretion through bile production.
One of the main active compounds in garlic is allicin, which is formed when garlic is crushed or minced with other sulfur-containing compounds like diallyl disulfide and S-allyl cysteine. These compounds are believed to have various effects on lipid metabolism and cholesterol biosynthesis. Garlic compounds are thought to moderately inhibit the reductase of the enzyme HMG-CoA, and sulfur-containing compounds in garlic have been shown to have antioxidant properties that may help lower LDL cholesterol by reducing the oxidation of LDL particles.
Finally, garlic is also thought to have a mild blood thinning effect, which could improve overall cardiovascular health and reduce the risk of atherosclerotic plaque formation.
