Red yeast rice is clinically studied to promote cardiovascular health*
Red yeast rice (RYR) contains hundreds of compounds, including monacolins, which have a unique chemical composition that may help support normal cholesterol metabolism.* RYR Synergy™ features coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) for added energy support.* Additionally, RYR Synergy™ may provide support for maintaining healthy lipids that are already in the normal range.*

- Supports a healthy inflammatory response and protects against oxidative stress*
- Promotes healthy blood sugar levels*
- Supports overall cardiovascular health and arterial health*
What This Product Is
RYR Synergy contains USDA-certified organic red yeast rice derived from US-grown Monascus purpureus, a yeast that contains several compounds collectively known as monocolins. Research shows that monocolins can support overall cardiovascular health, and monocolin K in particular can help to maintain healthy blood lipids (such as cholesterol) through its role in the production of the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme, which is directly involved in determining how much cholesterol your body produces.*
In addition to monocolins, this product also contains coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), a nutrient recognized for its significant role in cellular energy metabolism and as one of the body's most vital antioxidants. CoQ10 is included because it is made in the body through the same pathway as cholesterol; since red yeast rice is affecting this pathway, CoQ10 helps protect proper levels of this critical nutrient. The red yeast rice has been thoroughly tested to assure undetectable levels of the fungal contaminant citrinin and substantial levels of naturally occurring monacolin compounds.*
Mechanism of Action
Red Yeast Rice and HMG-CoA Reductase Support
Organic red yeast rice contains monacolin compounds, especially monocolin K, which helps maintain healthy blood lipids through its role in the production of the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme. This enzyme is directly involved in determining how much cholesterol the body produces. Red yeast rice also potentially curbs the growth of certain harmful microbes that can affect the cardiovascular system over time.*
CoQ10 for Pathway Protection and Energy Metabolism
CoQ10 is included because it is made in the body through the same metabolic pathway as cholesterol. Since red yeast rice affects this pathway, CoQ10 supplementation helps protect proper levels of this critical nutrient.* The CoQ10 uses a patented delivery system shown to significantly increase absorption and bioavailability. CoQ10 also supports cellular energy metabolism and serves as a vital antioxidant.*
Applications
- Individuals seeking natural support for healthy cholesterol levels*
- Those wanting cardiovascular health support with organic red yeast rice*
- Individuals needing blood lipid balance support (LDL, HDL, triglycerides)*
- Those seeking arterial health support through inflammatory response and oxidative stress protection*
- Individuals wanting CoQ10 protection alongside red yeast rice supplementation*
Key Ingredients / Formula Highlights
Organic Red Yeast Rice with Monocolins
USDA-certified organic red yeast rice grown in the US. Substantial levels of monacolin K for HMG-CoA reductase support. Tested for undetectable citrinin levels.
CoQ10 with Enhanced Absorption
Patented delivery system for increased absorption and bioavailability. Protects CoQ10 levels affected by the cholesterol pathway. Available as RYR120 (120 capsules). Gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free. Non-GMO.*
Suggested Use
Take 2 capsules per day, preferably at bedtime, or as directed by your health-care practitioner. Research concludes that most cholesterol produced in the body is made while sleeping, so bedtime dosing is recommended.
Product Questions
Why is CoQ10 included with red yeast rice?
CoQ10 is made in the body through the same metabolic pathway as cholesterol. Since red yeast rice contains monacolin compounds that affect this pathway through HMG-CoA reductase activity, CoQ10 levels may be impacted. Including CoQ10 in the formula helps protect proper levels of this critical nutrient that supports cellular energy metabolism and antioxidant status.*
Why is bedtime dosing recommended?
Research concludes that most cholesterol produced in the body is made while sleeping. Taking RYR Synergy at bedtime rather than early in the day helps align the monacolin activity with the body's peak cholesterol production period for optimal support of healthy cholesterol levels.*
Who may benefit most from RYR Synergy?
Individuals seeking natural support for healthy cholesterol and blood lipid levels, those wanting comprehensive cardiovascular health support with organic red yeast rice, people needing arterial health support through inflammatory response and oxidative stress protection, and anyone wanting CoQ10 protection alongside red yeast rice for metabolic pathway balance.*
