Now Foods Red Yeast Rice 600 mg with CoQ10 30 mg - 60 Veg Capsules
R 429.00
Red yeast rice with CoQ10, the natural statin alternative.
NATURAL MONACOLIN K CONTENT
Red yeast rice naturally contains monacolin K, the same compound as the pharmaceutical statin lovastatin. Inhibits HMG-CoA reductase to lower cholesterol.
COQ10 REPLACEMENT BUILT IN
Monacolins block the same pathway that produces CoQ10, depleting CoQ10 like statins do. The included 30mg CoQ10 replaces what red yeast rice depletes.
LIVER CO-SUPPORT
Silymarin (milk thistle) protects liver cells while the monacolins work on cholesterol synthesis, supporting the same pathway.
CITRININ-TESTED
Manufactured to remove citrinin, the unwanted by-product of red yeast fermentation that can be nephrotoxic.

Primary Active Ingredients & Mechanisms
- Red Yeast Rice (Monascus purpureus on Rice) 600mg
- Naturally contains monacolin K, the same compound as the pharmaceutical statin lovastatin. Inhibits HMG-CoA reductase, the rate-limiting liver enzyme in cholesterol synthesis. Effect is dose-dependent on monacolin content.
- Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) 30mg
- Mitochondrial electron carrier essential for ATP production. The HMG-CoA reductase pathway also produces CoQ10, so any monacolin or statin use depletes CoQ10; the included 30mg replaces this loss.
- Silymarin (Milk Thistle Extract)
- Liver-protective flavonolignans that stabilise hepatocyte membranes and support glutathione status.
- Alpha Lipoic Acid
- Universal antioxidant supporting glutathione regeneration and protecting against oxidative stress in liver and vascular tissue.
Who is it for?
Adults with mildly elevated cholesterol who want a natural alternative to prescription statins. NOT a replacement for prescription statins in cardiovascular high-risk patients or established disease.
Why use it?
Red yeast rice contains natural monacolin K (identical to lovastatin), and the included CoQ10, silymarin, and ALA address the side effects of statin-pathway inhibition that prescription statins don't routinely cover.
When to use it
Take 2 capsules daily with food, ideally with the evening meal (cholesterol synthesis is highest at night).
How to use it
2 capsules daily with the evening meal. Tell your doctor you are using red yeast rice; it must NOT be combined with prescription statins.
Pairs Well With
Strategic Cross-Sell
New Leaf Beetroot Capsules 180
Beetroot supports vascular nitric oxide and blood pressure from a different angle. Combined with red yeast rice's cholesterol effect, the two address two major cardiovascular risk levers.
