Why It Works

+
It’s no secret that maintaining balanced cholesterol levels is foundational to keeping your cardiovascular system healthy as you age. But it can be challenging to do naturally without the right ingredients in your toolkit. Enter Durable RED YEAST RICE, which is a powerful, safe and effective cholesterol solution. It is also a great complement to our other cholesterol support formula, Durable HEART®, for those who want or need more comprehensive cardiovascular protection. That’s because the ingredients in Durable RED YEAST RICE promote cholesterol balance and heart health via different mechanisms of action. It’s also a great option to consider if you didn’t get the results you were hoping for with Durable HEART, since natural ingredients affect everyone differently.*

Dr. Passero’s 20+ years of clinical experience helping patients optimize their cholesterol levels naturally went into formulating Durable RED YEAST RICE. It features a potent 1,600 mg daily dose of standardized, highly purified, certified organic red yeast rice extract. This clinically validated dose is 33% higher than what most red yeast rice supplements provide. Red yeast rice’s powerful cholesterol-balancing effects are enhanced with 50 mg of heart health-promoting Ubiqsome® CoQ10 Phytosome™.*

Organic Red Yeast Rice Extract (1,600 mg)
Durable RED YEAST RICE is made with exceptionally pure, organic red yeast rice, which helps ensure that our product contains no harmful pesticide or herbicide residues. This, along with a cutting-edge fermentation and extraction process and our rigorous safety and quality control measures, makes Durable RED YEAST RICE the safest, most effective red yeast rice product on the market. Plus every single batch is lab tested to be 100% free of free of citrinin, a potentially unhealthy by-product of the red yeast rice fermentation process.*

Used as a cardiovascular remedy in Traditional Chinese Medicine for over 700 years, red yeast rice is one of the most well-researched and validated natural ingredients ever studied for lowering cholesterol and reducing cardiovascular risk factors. And it can be pivotal in helping you achieve the healthy, balanced cholesterol levels you need for long-term heart health—without undesirable side effects.*

Dozens of clinical studies confirm red yeast rice's effectiveness and safety. One landmark clinical trial on participants who took red yeast rice extract daily (1,200 mg) produced compelling results after just 8 weeks with total cholesterol down 23% and LDL cholesterol down 31%. Best of all, 93% of study participants experienced improvements. This last statistic is incredible because very few studies show this high of an effectiveness rate.*

Red yeast rice is made by fermenting white rice with a type of yeast called Monascus purpureus. As a result of the fermentation process, the rice turns bright reddish purple. Red yeast rice contains an array of natural cholesterol-lowering compounds, including plant sterols, flavonoids and isoflavones which block an enzyme involved in cholesterol production in the liver.*

In addition to its clinically proven ability to lower cholesterol levels, red yeast rice supports cardiovascular health in several other ways:

Lowers levels of C-reactive-protein (CRP), a key inflammatory marker known to have negative impacts on the cardiovascular system*

Promotes healthy blood pressure, as confirmed by a 2019 systematic review of clinical studies and a 2021 multicenter study*

Supports healthy blood sugar metabolism, with studies showing reductions in fasting blood sugar with the daily intake of red yeast rice*

Red yeast rice also helps decrease leptin resistance and even has balancing effects on the immune system.*

Ubiqsome® CoQ10 Phytosome™
Maintaining adequate levels of CoQ10 is critical to your cardiovascular and overall health. This unique antioxidant plays a major role in producing the energy needed to power your body’s hardest working organ—your heart.*

Plus, red yeast rice has the potential to deplete CoQ10 levels. While our formula is designed to minimize CoQ10 depletion, Dr. Passero felt it was important to include CoQ10 to counterbalance any possible depletion—and because CoQ10 is so vitally important for overall cardiovascular health. Inferior red yeast rice products that are not formulated with CoQ10 can deplete levels, causing unanticipated health problems.*

It’s important to understand that declining CoQ10 levels can significantly impact your heart, which helps to explain why a vast body of scientific evidence has shown that supplementing with CoQ10 can improve cardiovascular health. As an antioxidant, CoQ10 plays an important role in preventing the oxidation of LDL cholesterol and helping to maintain the health of your arteries.*

Durable RED YEAST RICE includes a potent 50 mg dose of clinically proven Ubiqsome® CoQ10 Phytosome™. Unlike traditional CoQ10, which is difficult for your body to absorb due to its molecular structure, the patented Italian-sourced Ubiqsome® in Durable CoQ10 leverages cutting-edge phytosome technology that unlocks the full benefits of CoQ10—and offers dramatically better absorption that’s up to 900% better than what standard CoQ10 provides.*

Notably, Ubiqsome® is also the only supplemental CoQ10 on the market backed by scientific evidence proving its ability to be absorbed in muscle.*

The Durable RED YEAST RICE Difference
Red yeast rice has been the subject of controversy at times because some of the naturally occurring compounds it contains balance cholesterol via a mechanism of action that is similar to that of certain synthetic compounds. If a red yeast rice supplement is not produced with careful controls and testing in place, it has the potential to cause the same side effects as the synthetic compounds, including muscle aches and CoQ10 depletion, which can impact your heart.*

For this reason, our red yeast rice extract is standardized to ensure that it provides precisely the clinically validated levels and proper balance of active compounds needed to effectively lower cholesterol with unparalleled safety while virtually eliminating any potential side effects.*

We also include a 50 mg dose of Ubiqsome® CoQ10 Phytosome™ in Durable RED YEAST RICE as an extra measure to counterbalance the potential CoQ10-depleting effects of red yeast rice. As a bonus, CoQ10 provides additional cardiovascular and antioxidant benefits.*

Another thing that sets Durable RED YEAST RICE apart from other supplements is that we use a highly purified, certified organic red yeast rice extract, which ensures that our product contains no harmful pesticide or herbicide residues. This, combined with a unique solid-state fermentation and extraction process that uses only water (no solvents or chemicals), makes Durable RED YEAST RICE the cleanest red yeast rice product on the market.*

Our rigorous safety and quality control measures also ensure that Durable RED YEAST RICE is free of citrinin, a potentially unhealthy by-product of the red yeast rice fermentation process. Every batch of red yeast rice in our product is certified citrinin-free through testing, so you can rest assured that you are getting an extraordinarily pure, safe and effective red yeast rice supplement.*

Effectiveness is just as important as safety and quality. Unlike inferior supplements, the red yeast rice we use in Durable RED YEAST RICE features a vast array of potent plant sterols, flavonoids, isoflavones, polyphenols and other phytonutrients that work synergistically to support healthy cholesterol levels and superior overall cardiovascular health.

Should I take Durable HEART or Durable RED YEAST RICE?
While both Durable HEART and Durable RED YEAST RICE are specifically formulated to lower cholesterol, the ingredients in these formulas work in different ways in the body and offer distinct benefits. See our FAQ section below to learn more.

For remarkable and comprehensive results, consider our Durable HEART PLUS® bundle which makes it easy and more affordable to take Durable HEART and Durable RED YEAST RICE together. You can save up to $30 per 1-month supply vs. buying 1 bottle of each product separately.*

Why We Use Amber Glass Bottles vs. Clear Glass or Plastic:
• Sustainability: Glass is infinitely recyclable and reusable.
• UV Protection: Amber glass protects the ingredients from light damage.
• 100% Non-Toxic: No risk of chemicals found in plastics leaching into the pills.

    Dr wanted me on a Statin

    4 months ago i had routine blood work done and my drs office called and said you cholesterol is dangerously high. I told them no and stated i would take Red Yeast Rice and have it retested in 3 months. I did just that and when I had it retested they called and said who your cholesterol has come down significantly keep doing what you are doing! I take Durable Red Yeast Rice and just recently started taking Heart. I recommend it to whomever will listen.

    Hopeful

    After my recent blood work my doctor wanted to do something about my elevated cholesterol. So I went on a search for Red Rice Yeast because of the testimony of others I've known that had success with it. I am excited and hopeful that when I go back for another round of lab work in a few months that my doctor and I will be pleased with the change from taking Red Rice Yeast.Thank you LiveDurable for your products.
