Cardiovascular Support*, Red Yeast Rice with CoQ10 - 30 mg & Omega-3 Fish Oil.
Red Yeast Rice is a natural product that's been used in Asian traditional herbal systems for centuries. It is produced by the fermentation of red yeast (Monascus purpureus) with white rice. The Red Yeast Rice in NOW® Red Omega™ is carefully produced to avoid the presence of citrinin, a sometimes toxic by-product of the fermentation process. This product is further enhanced with the addition of CoQ10 and Omega-3 rich Fish Oil to support healthy cardiovascular function.*
Omega-3 has become synonymous with cardiovascular integrity, and is supported by years of substantiated research. Many studies have suggested that Omega-3 may play a role in healthy cholesterol metabolism, in addition to blood pressure that is already within the healthy range. EFA provides some of the compounds needed for normal, healthy blood clotting. Finally, it has been shown to help maintain the body’s ratio of HDL (good) cholesterol, while maintaining triglycerides, already within the normal range.*
The Natural Fish Oil Concentrate used in this softgel is manufactured under strict quality control standards. It is screened for the absence of potentially harmful levels of contaminants (i.e. mercury, heavy metals, PCB's, dioxins, and other contaminants). This Fish Oil Concentrate is primarily derived from sardines, anchovies and mackerel.
From the FDA's website: "Consumption of Omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. FDA evaluated the data and determined that, although there is scientific evidence supporting the claim, the evidence is not conclusive (see nutrition information for fat content)".
Suggested Usage: As a dietary supplement, take 2 softgels twice daily with meals. Consider taking this product in combination with NOW® Sytrinol®, Flush-Free Niacin and Pantethine.
