Description

Maintaining healthy LDL cholesterol is crucial for heart health. While effective cholesterol management should include diet and lifestyle changes, such as a whole-foods diet tailored to individual needs and regular aerobic exercise, a high-quality dietary supplement like Thorne’s Red Yeast Rice + CoQ10 provides extra support.*

Thorne’s Red Yeast Rice + CoQ10 is formulated with Monascus purpureus, a red-pigmented yeast naturally produced on fermented rice. Numerous studies in both China and the U.S. show that red yeast rice supports cholesterol levels already within the normal range.*

Because cholesterol and CoQ10 share similar synthesis pathways, our formula contains an optimized amount of CoQ10 in each capsule to maintain normal levels in the body. 


Benefits of Thorne Red Yeast Rice + CoQ10

  • Delivers naturally occurring compounds found in red yeast rice to maintain cholesterol levels in the normal range*
  • Contains beneficial compounds such as phytosterols (beta-sitosterol, campesterol, stigmasterol), isoflavones, and trace minerals, which all contribute to cardiovascular health*
  • Provides antioxidant support* 


Features of Thorne Red Yeast Rice + CoQ10

  • Provides additional health benefits with 15 mg of CoQ10 per capsule
  • Third-party tested to ensure safety, purity, and compliance with strict GMP standards
  • Formulated with red yeast rice that is produced by a carefully controlled fermentation method that results in less than 0.05 parts per million of citrinin, a mycotoxin that can form during rice fermentation – far below the industry standard of 1 part per million

FAQs
Frequently asked question

Is Thorne Red Yeast Rice + CoQ10 worth buying for cholesterol support?

Yes, if you're looking for extra cholesterol support alongside a healthy diet and exercise. Thorne is a trusted brand known for rigorous testing and quality ingredients. This formula combines Monascus purpureus fermented red yeast rice with CoQ10, an important pairing since red yeast rice can deplete CoQ10 levels. It's a smart, well-rounded option for anyone focused on maintaining healthy LDL cholesterol naturally.

Where can I buy Thorne Red Yeast Rice + CoQ10 and is it available without a prescription?

Thorne Red Yeast Rice + CoQ10 is available directly through this product page and ships without a prescription. It's a dietary supplement, not a medication, so no doctor's visit is required. Ordering online is the most convenient option, and purchasing from an authorized retailer ensures you receive a genuine, properly stored product with full quality assurance.

What is red yeast rice and how does it support heart health?

Red yeast rice is produced by fermenting rice with Monascus purpureus, a red-pigmented yeast. It has been studied extensively, particularly in China, for its ability to help maintain healthy LDL cholesterol levels. It contains naturally occurring compounds that support cardiovascular health. When combined with a balanced diet and regular aerobic exercise, it can be a helpful addition to a heart-healthy lifestyle.

Why is CoQ10 included with Red Yeast Rice in this supplement?

Red yeast rice can reduce the body's natural production of CoQ10, an essential nutrient that supports cellular energy and heart function. Including CoQ10 in the formula helps replenish what may be depleted, making the supplement safer and more balanced. This thoughtful combination is one reason Thorne's formula stands out compared to red yeast rice products that don't include CoQ10.

Can I take Red Yeast Rice + CoQ10 if I'm already on cholesterol medication?

If you're currently taking prescription cholesterol medication, consult your doctor before adding this supplement. Red yeast rice contains naturally occurring compounds that may interact with certain medications. Your healthcare provider can help determine whether this supplement is appropriate for your specific situation and adjust your plan accordingly. Never replace prescribed medication with a supplement without professional medical guidance.

How long does it take to see results from taking Red Yeast Rice + CoQ10?

Results vary by individual, but many people begin noticing changes in cholesterol levels within 6 to 12 weeks of consistent use. For best results, combine supplementation with a whole-foods diet and regular aerobic exercise. Cholesterol management is a long-term commitment, so patience and consistency are key. Regular blood work with your doctor is the best way to track your progress objectively.
