Red \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eYeast Rice or Hong Qu, the product of rice fermented with \u003ci\u003eMonascus purpureus\u003c\/i\u003e yeast, has \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003ebeen used for centuries in China in foods and in medicines. The use of RYR was apparently \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003efirst noted in the Tang dynasty, where it was used to add colour and flavour to a range of \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003efoods and was also used in Chinese folk medicine for treating indigestion, diarrhea, and for \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eimproving blood circulation. For use in natural health products, the fermentation process is \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003ecarefully controlled to increase the concentration of mevinic acids. RYR contains ten mevinic \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eacids, also known as monacolins, the highest concentration of which is constituted by \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003elovastatin (also referred to as monacolin K or mevinolin). These compounds, which \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003econstitute about 0.4% of red rice, competitively inhibit \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003e3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-coenzyme (HMG-CoA) reductase to block cholesterol \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003ebiosynthesis. Red Yeast also contains sterols, including beta-sitosterol, campesterol, \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003estigmasterol, and sapogenin; isoflavones and isoflavone glycosides and monounsaturated \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003efatty acids. The overall cholesterol –lowering effects of red yeast is likely due to the \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003ecombination of lovastatin, mevinic acids, plant sterols and other constituents. Red Omega \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eprovides \u0026lt;1 mg\/day of lovastatin at the recommended dosage. This is within the limits set by \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eNHPD for lovastatin-free red yeast rice (the only form eligible for registration as a natural \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003ehealth product). Coenzyme Q10 or CoQ10 belongs to a family of substances called \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eubiquinones. CoQ10 is a water-insoluble substances involved in electron transport and \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eenergy production in mitochondria. CoQ10 is manufactured by the body and stored in the \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eheart and other organs. It is a strong antioxidant that supports healthy heart function. \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eOmega-3 fatty acids from fish oils have anti-inflammatory and antithrombotic effects \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003ebecause they compete with arachidonic acid in the cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003epathways. Fish oils inhibit the arachidonic acid synthesis of thromboxane A2 which causes \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eplatelet aggregation and vasoconstriction. Fish oils can also cause increased production of \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eprostacyclin, a prostaglandin that reduces platelet aggregation. Omega-3 fatty acids seem to \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003esuppress COX-2 expression and the inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1 alpha and \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003etumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha. Fish oils are used for cardiovascular conditions, including \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003estroke and heart disease, due to their anti-inflammatory and antithrombotic effects.\u003c\/font\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\r\n    \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eDirections:\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#533690\" size=\"2\"\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#533690\" size=\"2\"\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#000000\" size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eAdult Dosage: Take 2 softgels twice daily with meals.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#533690\" size=\"2\"\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#533690\" size=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#f38a00\" size=\"2\" face=\"Arial\"\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#f38a00\" size=\"2\" face=\"Arial\"\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#f38a00\" size=\"2\" face=\"Arial\"\u003e \r\n              \u003cp\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#000000\" size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eIngredients (each softgel contains):\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\r\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#000000\" size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eCoenzyme Q10 ………………….……..……………..………… 30 mg\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#000000\" size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eRed Yeast Rice ………………………………………………....300 mg\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#000000\" size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eFrom: Whole \u003ci\u003eMonascus purpureus\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eOryza sativa\u003c\/i\u003e Seed\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#000000\" size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eFish Oil ………………………………………………………..1000 mg\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#000000\" size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eFrom: Whole \u003ci\u003eAmmodytidae, Clupeidae\u003c\/i\u003e (anchovies, sardines)\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#000000\" size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eProviding:\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#000000\" size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eEPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) ……………… 192 mg\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#000000\" size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eDHA (Docosapentaenoic Acid) ……………..123 mg\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\r\n        \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#000000\" size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eNon-Medicinal Ingredients: \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfont color=\"#533690\" size=\"2\"\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#533690\" size=\"2\"\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#000000\" size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eSoftgel capsule (gelatin, glycerin, water, carob), \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\"\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Verdana\"\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#000000\"\u003eYellow Beeswax, Soy Lecithin, d-alpha tocopherol. \u003cb\u003eContains fish and soy derivatives.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"NOW","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33558683922,"sku":"9520","price":29.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0408\/7649\/products\/s9520.jpg?v=1493142605","url":"https:\/\/parisnaturalhealthfoods.ca\/products\/now-red-omega-425mg-90softgels","provider":"Paris Natural Foods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
