ATTENTION STATIN USERS: Do not take this product if you are currently taking statin medications unless directed by your healthcare provider. If you are looking for a statin-compatible option, consider Durable HEART.*

Formulated by Dr. Kevin Passero based on over 20 years of clinical experience, Durable RED YEAST RICE provides exceptionally safe and effective support for balanced cholesterol and superior cardiovascular health. It combines an extra-strength 1,600 mg daily dose of standardized, highly purified, certified organic red yeast rice extract (33% more than what most supplements provide) along with a 50 mg dose of Ubiqsome® CoQ10 Phytosome™—proven to offer 9x better absorption than standard CoQ10.*

Red yeast rice is one of the most researched natural ingredients for maintaining healthy cholesterol levels. Clinical trials show daily use can reduce total cholesterol by an average of 37 points and LDL (“bad”) cholesterol by an average of 36 points—with an impressive 93% efficacy rate. It works by naturally regulating key aspects of cholesterol metabolism and clearance throughout the body.*

Durable RED YEAST RICE is made using a water-only fermentation and extraction process. In addition to organic certification, our red yeast rice is rigorously tested and guaranteed to be free of harmful residues—including citrinin, a potentially dangerous fermentation byproduct sometimes found in lower quality supplements.*

Lower quality red yeast rice has the potential to deplete CoQ10 levels, which are vital for energy production and heart health. Our premium formula is designed to minimize CoQ10 depletion, and as a counterbalance includes 50 mg of clinically proven, Italian-sourced Ubiqsome® CoQ10 Phytosome™. Made using cutting-edge phytosome technology, it offers 9x better absorption than standard CoQ10. It’s also the only CoQ10 shown to be absorbed in muscle tissue—where it’s needed most.*

No other supplement combines these two powerful cardiovascular health enhancers in one exceptionally clean and effective formula.*

The Science

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. Durable RED YEAST RICE is a powerful, safe and effective cholesterol solution.*

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 water-only 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 third-party lab tested to be 100% free of free of citrinin, a potentially unhealthy by-product of the red yeast rice fermentation process, a step most red yeast rice supplements skip.*

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 supporting healthy cholesterol levels 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.*

In one of the largest reviews to date, researchers pooled the results of 14 rigorous clinical trials and found that red yeast rice lowered total cholesterol by an average of 37 mg/dL and LDL (“bad”) cholesterol by an average of 36 mg/dL—cutting LDL by as much as 14 to 22%. The study authors concluded that red yeast rice was generally safe and not associated with life-threatening or frequent side effects.*

An earlier landmark clinical trial, participants who took red yeast rice daily saw compelling results in just 8 weeks: total cholesterol dropped 23% and LDL cholesterol dropped 31%. Best of all, 93% of study participants saw their cholesterol improve—a remarkably high success rate that few natural ingredients can match.*

How Does Red Yeast Rice Lower Cholesterol So Effectively?
The secret lies in natural compounds produced during the fermentation process. 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 and develops an array of natural cholesterol-lowering compounds, including plant sterols, flavonoids and isoflavones.*

These natural compounds gently regulate the main enzyme your liver uses to make cholesterol. With this enzyme dialed down, your body produces less cholesterol overall—especially LDL, the “bad” kind that contributes to plaque buildup in arteries. At the same time, your liver pulls more LDL out of the bloodstream, further lowering levels. This two-fold effect—balancing cholesterol production and enhancing its clearance—makes red yeast rice one of nature’s most reliable solutions for supporting healthy cholesterol levels.*

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. It also promotes healthy blood pressure balance, thanks to its ability to improve endothelial function.*

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% greater 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.*

Beyond Cholesterol: Whole-Body Cardiovascular Support
Together, red yeast rice and CoQ10 support cardiovascular and metabolic health in several important ways beyond cholesterol:*
  • Lowers levels of C-reactive-protein (CRP), a key inflammatory marker known to have negative impacts on the cardiovascular system
  • Promotes healthy blood flow and blood pressure, in part through CoQ10's role in maintaining optimal endothelial function
  • Supports balanced blood sugar, along with healthy insulin and leptin sensitivity

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 support healthy cholesterol levels 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 third-party 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.*

Consider Durable CHOLESTEROL COMPLETE® If You Have Severe or Stubborn Cholesterol Issues
If you have severe or stubborn cholesterol issues, including genetically high cholesterol, we recommend that you consider Durable CHOLESTEROL COMPLETE. This convenient, all-in-one formula combines all the ingredients found in Durable RED YEAST RICE with all the ingredients found in Durable HEART (another one of our cholesterol-balancing formulas), at precisely the same clinically proven dosages. Since these ingredients work via different mechanisms of action to help balance dangerous LDL cholesterol, combining them provides comprehensive support and can produce remarkable results.*

Durable CHOLESTEROL COMPLETE makes it easy and more affordable to take Durable RED YEAST RICE and Durable HEART together. You can save up to $34 per 1-month supply vs. buying 1 bottle of each product separately.*
