How Does Armolipid Work To Reduce Cholesterol?
Armolipid reduces cholesterol due to the actions of the following constituents;
Red Yeast Rice (Monascus purpureus) - Red yeast rice is produced from fermentation of rice (Oryza sativa) with a particular strain of Monascus purpureus. Fermented red rice contains Monacolin K, a natural product which has a chemical structure belonging to the class of statins which are involved in the cholesterol metabolism, and its activity is related to the administered dose.
Folic acid - Folic acid contributes to the normal metabolism of homocysteine. Homocysteine is a substance physiologically produced in the organism following the metabolism of the amino acid methionine, which we introduce in our organism with the diet. The homocysteine produced is then transformed in methionine again. If this process of reconversion does not take place, or if it takes place only partially, untransformed homocysteine which accumulates in the organism may be harmful for several organs and particularly for the health of the cardiovascular system. Armolipid contains the physiological daily allowance of Folic acid.
Coenzyme Q10 - The Coenzyme Q10 is a physiological constituent of our body that is involved in the oxidation-reduction reactions of ATP synthesis (adenosine triphosphate).
Astanxanthin - Astanxanthin is a substance synthesized by the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis and it carries out an important role in the oxidation-reduction reactions.
