The American Heart Association advises members of the public to regularly check their total blood cholesterol level. This is an important first step in determining one’s risk for heart disease. High total blood cholesterol is considered a major contributing factor of heart disease, stroke and may also contribute to the formation of gallstones, sexual dysfunction, reduced mental abilities, and high blood pressure. Those with cholesterol levels above 200 mg/dl suffer twice the risk of heart disease as those whose levels are below 200 mg/dl.

The Rice for Healthy Heart & Blood Circulation

Oriyen Red Yeast Rice, obtained by fermenting red yeast (Monascus purpureus) on white rice, has gained recognition as an effective, natural cholesterol lowering substance. Most of the body's supply of cholesterol is produced in the liver and controlled by the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which is responsible for the synthesis of cholesterol. Red yeast rice regulates the activity of HMG-CoA reductase to maintain normal cholesterol levels. Known as hong qu in Chinese, Red yeast rice has been used in China since 800 A.D. for maintaining a healthy heart and circulatory system. Content: 60 capsules x 500mg
