{"product_id":"levure-de-riz-rouge-ail","title":"Red yeast rice + garlic","description":"Promotes Cardiovascular Health\nHelps Reduce Elevated Blood Lipid Levels\nHelps Maintain Multiple Aspects of Cardiovascular Health\nRed Yeast Rice Extract—Statin-Free and Mycotoxin-Free\n\nAOR's Red Yeast Rice + Garlic leverages the complementary relationship of both ingredients to deliver superior results. The primary effect of Red Yeast Rice (RYR) is to provide antioxidants that prevent cholesterol oxidation, which can lead to plaque formation. Oxidized LDL is particularly atherogenic and contributes to plaque formation in the arteries. Antioxidants support healthy blood vessels by maintaining cholesterol in its normal, reduced state. RYR works synergistically with garlic to dilate blood vessels, allowing smooth blood flow and reducing fats that accumulate in the blood vessels. AOR uses the patented Ankascin 568® extract, which is standardized to two powerful pigments—ankascin and monascin. These pigments, formed during the fermentation process, have been studied to increase the production of LDL receptors so that LDL can enter cells; increase HDL levels; and increase cholesterol excretion through bile production.\nOne of the main active compounds in garlic is allicin, which is formed when garlic is crushed or minced along with other sulfur-containing compounds such as diallyl disulfide and S-allyl cysteine. These compounds are believed to have various effects on lipid metabolism and cholesterol biosynthesis. Garlic compounds are thought to moderately inhibit the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme, and the sulfur-containing compounds in garlic have been shown to have antioxidant properties that may help lower LDL cholesterol by reducing the oxidation of LDL particles.\nFinally, garlic is also thought to have a mild blood-thinning effect, which could improve overall cardiovascular health and reduce the risk of atherosclerotic plaque formation.","brand":"AOR","offers":[{"title":"60 capsules","offer_id":44155335868587,"sku":"levure-riz-rouge-ail-aor-60-capsules","price":65.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2993\/1664\/files\/Red-Yeast-Rice-Garlic-AOR-Energieplp_unytii_supplements.webp?v=1749234454","url":"https:\/\/www.unytii.com\/en\/products\/red-yeast-rice-garlic","provider":"Unytii - Suppléments et Produits Naturels","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
