Cholesterol Support

Protocol overview

Compare your current stack nutrients to the outlined protocol recommendations.

This Cholesterol Support Protocol is designed for managing cholesterol levels, particularly focusing on lowering LDL cholesterol and Apolipoprotein B (ApoB). ApoB is a primary protein in LDL particles and is a key indicator of cardiovascular risk, as it contributes to the buildup of cholesterol in arteries.

The regimen includes Red Yeast Rice for its cholesterol-lowering effects, Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) to support overall cellular health and mitigate potential side effects of Red Yeast Rice, and Berberine, known for its ability to positively influence cholesterol levels and overall metabolic health. These supplements are selected for their roles in cholesterol metabolism and cardiovascular support.

Coenzyme Q10

100mg

Useful for offsetting potential side effects like muscle discomfort associated with Red Yeast Rice, CoQ10 is also important for heart health and energy production at the cellular level. [2]

RYR

Red Yeast Rice

1200mg

Red Yeast Rice contains natural compounds that can help reduce LDL cholesterol levels. Its effectiveness is partly attributed to its impact on reducing ApoB levels, potentially lowering cardiovascular risk. Take a product that is standardized to contain 10 mg of monacolin K. [3]
