Cardiochol is a dietary supplement containing a blend of herbal ingredients and selected B vitamins.
Monacolin K from fermented red rice, as well as plant sterols, which help maintain normal blood cholesterol levels.
Vitamin B1 supports the functioning of the heart, while vitamins B6, B12 and folic acid participate in maintaining the normal metabolism of homocysteine found in blood serum.
Vitamins from this group are extremely important for the body. They are part of enzymes or activate them. That is why they influence the entire cellular metabolism and are the basis of all processes occurring in the body.
It should also be emphasized that one of the most important organs of our body - the liver - is in great need of these vitamins, because homocysteine is also metabolized there.
Vitamin B6 is important in the processes of hormonal changes, as well as being important for the nervous system.
Vitamin B6 activates over 200 enzymes, and also improves brain function, helps maintain hormonal balance, and helps in the synthesis of many neurotransmitters.
The role of vitamin B6 and folic acid in reducing the production of homocysteine in the body - the amino acid called the cholesterol of the 21st century - is invaluable.
Factors that reduce this substance in our body should be avoided: alcohol, cigarettes, oral contraceptives, canned food, high-protein diets.
Vitamin B12 – cobalamin, supports the efficient metabolism of homocysteine, plays an important role in the process of cell division.
Like other B vitamins, it prevents the formation of homocysteine.
Monacolin K is a phytostatin (natural lovastatin) derived from red yeast rice fermented with the fungus Monascus purpureus. It helps maintain healthy lipid levels (LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides).
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has confirmed the beneficial effects of monacolin K in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Including products containing monacolin K in our daily diet is an important element in protecting the functioning of the heart and cardiovascular system.
The effectiveness of Monacolin K has been confirmed by clinical studies.
How does Monacolin K work?
Monacolin K – like a statin – inhibits the action of the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase). HMG-CoA reductase is a liver enzyme that regulates the amount of cholesterol synthesized, while simultaneously influencing (together with HDL) the level of LDL-cholesterol in the plasma.
Intended use: for adults who care for their heart and cardiovascular system and who want to maintain normal blood cholesterol levels.
