Cardiovascular risk

Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Hypercholesterolemia is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Recent scientific studies have shown that:

– Any level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) above the recommended value is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events.
– Reducing LDL cholesterol to optimal concentrations reduces this risk
– An independent risk factor for cardiovascular events is high levels of homocysteine in the blood, a condition that can develop in cases of folic acid deficiency
– Oxidative stress, caused by an increased amount of free radicals in the body due to improper diet, smoking, intense physical activity and disease, has a pro-atherogenic effect and increases the risk of adverse cardiovascular disease.

An important cause of atherosclerosis is an excessive or unbalanced diet, which leads to high blood cholesterol levels, changes the lipid profile and deficiency of vital nutritional factors. Lifestyle changes (exercise, healthy eating and smoking cessation) are the cornerstone of cardiovascular disease prevention.

To improve the plasma lipid profile in patients with dyslipidemia, current guidelines recommend the use of supplements and nutraceuticals (such as red yeast rice and polycosanol), which can be used as an alternative or in addition to hypolipidemic medications in certain conditions.

Red yeast rice

Red fermented (yeast) rice is a fermentation product of the fungus Monascus purpureus and contains monacolin K, which can modulate blood lipid levels. In Armolipid red yeast rice is obtained under standard conditions with a specific strain of Monascus purpureus, chosen for its optimal yield of monacolin K (the main active ingredient of red yeast rice), with a well-defined and assured titer assay. Experimental and clinical studies have shown that red yeast rice lowers total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol.

Policosanols

Policosanols are a mixture of natural (natural) fatty alcohols found in the wax matrix of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum), rice bran (Oryza sativa) and beeswax (Apis mellifera). The policosanols in Armolipid are derived from sugar cane. Polycosanols increase the effectiveness of blood cholesterol control.

Folic Acid

Folic acid is essential for many biochemical functions in the human body, including nucleotide biosynthesis and the re-methylation of homocysteine to methionine. Folic acid deficiency is associated with high levels of homocysteine in the blood, a condition known as hyperhomocysteinemia, and is recognized as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The human body cannot synthesize folic acid. Modern diets are often associated with folic acid deficiency, which is now the most common form of hypovitaminosis. The daily requirement for folic acid is 0.2 mg. Armolipid contains a daily allowance of folic acid.

Astaxanthin

Astaxanthin is one of the most powerful antioxidants found in nature. Its antioxidant activity is 100-500 times greater than that of vitamin E, 6 times greater than beta-carotene and 4 times greater than lutein. Because of its antioxidant properties, astaxanthin inhibits peroxidation and prevents the formation of proatherogenic particles. Astaxanthin stabilizes the cell membrane, protecting phospholipids from damage caused by intracellular and extracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). This effect is necessary to prevent endothelial dysfunction, a condition that plays a key role in the development of atherosclerosis.

Coenzyme Q10

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is synthesized in the human body. It is an important cofactor necessary for the synthesis of ATP, which is necessary for the functioning of all cells, tissues and organs, especially those with high energy requirements.

Indications

To improve the lipid profile of blood plasma in dyslipidemia.

Armolipid can be recommended in addition to lifestyle changes, as well as for and addition to a balanced diet (as shown in current guidelines) for mild to moderate hypercholesterolemia and to reduce oxidative stress.

Composition

Armolipid in one tablet combines standardized amounts of natural ingredients to control blood lipids (red yeast rice and policosanol), homocysteine levels (folic acid) and oxidative stress (coenzyme Q10 and astaxanthin).

One tablet of Armolipid contains :

Polycosanols – 10 mg ;

fermented Monascus purpureus rice (red fermented rice) – 200 mg , which is equivalent to 3 mg of monacolin;

folic acid – 0,2 mg ;

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) – 2,0 mg ;

astaxanthin – 0,5 mg.

Results of studies 1-3 with Armolipid showed a decrease in total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, a decrease in homocysteine and a favorable safety profile.
