Maintenance of Healthy Blood Lipid Levels and Strengthening Overall Health

What is Red Yeast Rice?

Red yeast rice has been used for centuries as a brewing material and an agent to add color and aroma to food. It is a fermented product of rice on which red yeast (Monascus purpureus Went) is grown. The Chinese Pharmacopoeia, Ben Cao Gang Mu (Ming Dynasty), has documented that red yeast rice aids in digestion, strengthens the internal organs and promotes healthy blood circulation.

Red Yeast Rice contains a natural cholesterol-lowering substance and has been used as a traditional herbal medicine for centuries. This substance inhibits HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme that is important for the production of cholesterol in the body and this substance is called moncacolin K. Since it was first discovered, scientists have found a total of 8 monacolin-like substances that have cholesterol-lowering properties. Moncacolin K, the main active ingredient in red yeast rice, has been extensively researched and clinically proven to be effective in maintaining healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels, thus reducing the risk of heart diseases and stroke.

Red yeast rice also contains other ingredients such as fiber, unsaturated fatty acids like linoleic and linolenic acids, trace minerals like magnesium and vitamins like B-complex and niacin, all of which have known benefits in reducing serum lipids.

Why take Red Yeast Rice Complex™?

It is a Safe and All Natural Formula for Lowering Cholesterol

Red Yeast Rice Complex™ is a unique, dual action formula that combines the goodness of Red Yeast Rice with Cordyceps. Cordyceps is revered as an all-rounded tonic that is good for strengthening the immune system, maintaining healthy blood circulation and protecting all the vital organs. Red Yeast Rice Complex™ is a synergistic formula that helps maintain healthy total serum blood lipid levels in a safe and all-natural manner.

Less is More when you take Lifestream Red Yeast Rice Complex™

There are two forms of Monacolin K – bio-ready and inactive forms. Most red yeast rice products in the market contain mainly the inactive form of Monacolin K, which relies on the body to convert them into the active form. Hence results are not always guaranteed. Lifestream Red Yeast Rice Complex™ is different from the other red yeast rice supplements sold in the market today.

Advantage of choosing Red Yeast Rice Complex™:

Unique, dual action formula that is synergistically blended with Greenhouse Cordyceps Stroma to deliver comprehensive health benefits
Higher level of total Monacolin K
Greater concentration of Bio-ready forms of Monacolin K – relieves the liver from additional conversion load

Red Yeast Rice Complex work effectively to maintain healthy blood lipid level in an all-natural manner.

How Red Yeast Rice Complex™ works?

Red Yeast Rice Complex provides Monacolin K that inhibits HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme that is required to produce cholesterol in the liver. With the inhibition of the HMG-CoA reductase, cholesterol synthesis is reduced, hence maintaining a healthier serum cholesterol level, which in turn reduces the risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases.

So what if we have high cholesterol? Didn’t the studies show that we all need cholesterol to function?

It is true that we do need Cholesterol for normal body function just like proteins and carbohydrates. Cholesterol is required for a wide range of important body functions such as protecting our nerves, making cell tissues and producing certain hormones. However, we only need a tiny amount each day. In fact, the recommended daily intake of cholesterol is no more than 300mg – that is equivalent to the weight of 10 grains of rice! See how little we need?

Cholesterolis not the cause of heart diseases and stroke, an excess of cholesterol is the problem. Liver plays an important role in producing the right amount of cholesterol for the optimum function of the body. However, cholesterol can also be obtained from our daily diet. High cholesterol arise if the liver function fails and excess cholesterol is produced (usually a hereditary problem) or the person adopts an unhealthy diet, which can easily accumulate more cholesterol than necessary.

The cholesterol building up in arteries will cause arteries to narrow and harden; this condition is known as atherosclerosis. Larger deposits of cholesterol can completely block an artery, reduce blood circulation and eventually lead to chronic disease such as heart attack and stroke. This is why high cholesterol is a silent killer, as it does not cause any observable symptoms until the problem occurs.

In Singapore, more than quarters of all causes of death each year are related to heart attacks and stroke. According to a recent health survey, about 1 in 2 Singaporeans aged between 18-69 years had borderline high/high total cholesterol levels.

Different types of Cholesterol

In order to better understand your test report reading, you may wish to learn what are the different types of Cholesterol present in our body and what each of them means.

· Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) – Healthy level: >1.0mmol/L

LDL is also known as the "bad" cholesterol as it is the MAIN cause of harmful fatty buildup in arteries. The higher the LDL cholesterol levels in the blood, the greater the heart disease risk. Therefore, even if the total cholesterol level of an individual is normal, but the LDL is too high, the risk of heart diseases is still high.

· High-density lipoprotein (HDL) – Healthy level: 0.9-3.3mmol/L

HDL, also known as the "good" cholesterol, carries excess blood cholesterol back to the liver, where it can be eliminated. HDL helps prevent a cholesterol buildup in blood vessels, hence when HDL level is too low, the risk of heart diseases is also increased.

In addition, there is also another type of fat in the blood known as Triglycerides – Healthy level: 1.7-2.3mmol/L. High level of triglycerides in blood can also increase the risk of heart disease.
