Red Yeast Rice (formerly Choleast-900)

Choleast-900 is a high-quality dietary supplement designed to help maintain healthy cholesterol levels and support overall cardiovascular health. It features Monascus purpureus, a red yeast strain naturally fermented on rice, which contains beneficial monacolins. These monacolins, along with a blend of phytosterols such as beta-sitosterol, campesterol, and stigmasterol, are key components that contribute to maintaining normal cholesterol levels. With a formulation that includes 50% more red yeast rice than our standard Choleast product, Choleast-900 requires fewer capsules, making supplementation more convenient without compromising effectiveness.

Numerous studies in both China and the United States have shown the benefits of red yeast rice in maintaining cholesterol levels within the normal range. Choleast-900 provides these benefits with a natural, non-fortified formula, allowing customers to achieve better cardiovascular health through consistent supplementation. The inclusion of trace minerals and isoflavones further enhances the product's ability to support heart health and overall wellness.

While Choleast-900 is a powerful tool for managing cholesterol, it is important to remember that optimal heart health also involves a balanced, whole foods diet and regular aerobic exercise. Additionally, as cholesterol-synthesizing enzymes also contribute to the production of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), supplementing with Thorne's CoQ10 may help to maintain normal levels of this essential nutrient for energy and cellular health.

Thorne's commitment to quality and safety ensures that Choleast-900 contains only a minimal and acceptable amount of citrinin, a by-product of the red yeast rice fermentation process. This carefully controlled fermentation process guarantees that Choleast-900 provides the benefits of red yeast rice without the risk of harmful mycotoxins, allowing you to confidently support your heart health with every capsule.
