Clinical Benefits
Transitioning from Lipoplex: Metagenics Lipoplex was traditionally prescribed to support healthy lipid metabolism and provide broad-spectrum cardiovascular antioxidant support. Due to its discontinuation, practitioners now utilise single-origin, high-potency extracts to achieve these same clinical outcomes.
The Recommended Alternative: HealthWise Koji8 Red Yeast Rice offers a direct, highly concentrated nutritional profile rich in naturally occurring monacolins, B-group vitamins, and phytosterols. These bioactive compounds work synergistically to support healthy lipid metabolism, modulate hepatic cholesterol synthesis, and provide comprehensive support for systemic cardiovascular vitality.

Storage
Historical reference: Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place.
Warnings
This product is discontinued. If transitioning to HealthWise Koji8 Red Yeast Rice - Select Link, consider taking a Coenzyme Q10 supplement, as naturally occurring monacolins can produce statin-like effects which may deplete endogenous CoQ10 levels. If you are taking prescription lipid-lowering medications, please consult your healthcare professional before altering your protocol.

Research
Red Yeast Rice for Hypercholesterolemia
Abstract
The extract of red yeast rice (RYR) is the most effective cholesterol-lowering nutraceutical on the market. In particular, its effectiveness is directly related to the amount of monacolin K within the extract (up to 10 mg/day). Consuming monacolin K on a daily basis reduces low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol plasma levels between 15% and 25% within 6 to 8 weeks. Certainly, the decrease in LDL-cholesterol is accompanied by a similar reduction in total cholesterol, non–high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, plasma apolipoprotein B, matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein. Furthermore, the RYR lipid-lowering effect is associated with significant improvements in pulse wave velocity and endothelial function, which are validated and reliable biomarker tools able to detect vascular aging. Although it has a mechanism of action similar to statins, a daily consumption of between 3 and 10 mg monacolin K has only minimal associated risks, and mild myalgias are seen only in the frailest patients (those who also cannot tolerate minimal dosages of statin). The monacolin K found in RYR is a safe and effective supplement for managing mild to moderate hypercholesterolemia in people with no additional cardiovascular risk factors.
