Classic Cardio-K is a food supplement with approved claims to reduce and/or help maintain normal LDL cholesterol concentration by EFSA (European Food Safety Authority).
Monacolins are naturally occurring substances found in Red Yeast Rice, however, it is Monacolin K that is the active ingredient that works in a very similar way to some pharmaceutical grade statins, and the big difference being it is naturally present not chemically manufactured.
Red Yeast Rice is made by fermenting a type of red yeast called Monascus Purpureus over rice.
Several studies have shown good evidence that Monacolin K present in red yeast rice can significantly lower total and “bad” LDL cholesterol levels.
