User questions & answers

Question:	Is the ingredient citrinin in this product
Answer:	I find that 1 c rice to 1-2/3 c water usually results in a firm but not hard cooked rice. Combine cold water w/ rinsed rice, bring to slow boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered for 25-35 minutes or until water is absorbed. Have never been able to get more water to absorb and had to drain excess after cooking if I used more water. Rice ends up firm and "nutty", but the texture is one of my favorite qualities about red rice. Great flavor as well.
Question:	does this red yeast rice contain lovastatin and how much
Answer:	By definition rice is gluten free
Question:	does it actually say citrinin free
Answer:	I have couple of people who is expert in it bought it and make this as fuzhou red wine. So yes it is used to make fuzhou wine.
Question:	Why do you use misleading advertising stating 1200 mg but the capsules are really only 600 mg
Answer:	No mention on the package!

Experience the Purely Holistic Difference - Natural, Nutritious & No Nonsense!

Why take Red Yeast Rice with CoQ10 and Niacin?

Our premium supplement is made from quality ingredients that are known for their ability to help maintain a normal weight, improve cardiovascular health and cholesterol levels:

Red Yeast Rice - Red Yeast Rice is an extract taken from the fermentation of rice with a type of yeast called Monascus purpureus and is popular in Chinese medicine. RYR naturally contains several ingredients that may help control cholesterol levels which include monacolins, sterols, isoflavones and good fats.

CoQ10 - Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an antioxidant that is present in almost every cell of the body. The most concentrated levels of CoQ10 are found in the organs that require the most energy, including the heart, liver and kidneys. As we get older our levels of CoQ10 can deplete. CoQ10 levels can also decrease through intense physical exercise.

Niacin - Niacin (Vitamin B3), is a water-soluble vitamin and is part of the B Complex. It is required for the metabolism of carbohydrates and protein into energy. Niacin also supports cardiovascular health, promotes increased blood flow and supports the health of the nervous system. We use a flush-free Niacin to alleviate uncomfortable flushes associated with other traditional Niacin supplements.

Our formula has been rigorously screened and contains no Citrinin or other harmful impurities so you can consume them without worry.

Dr. Stengler's Clinically Tested Formulas

Emerald formulas have all been designed by Dr. Mark Stengler using therapeutic dosages based on clinical research and actual patient results. Dr Stengler is known as America’s Natural Doctor to his patients, readers and audiences across North America, Mark Stengler is a licensed naturopathic medical doctor. He is also a well-known author and lecturer with expertise in nutrition, herbal therapy, vitamin therapy, homeopathy, natural hormone replacement and integrated medicine. His passion is to combine the best of conventional and natural medicine to achieve optimized health for his patients at his clinic in Encinitas, CA. Dr. Stengler has personally formulated each of the new Emerald Laboratories Condition-Specific products according to the high standards of his health practice.

Additive-Free Formulas

Additives generally have little or no nutritive value. The objective of taking a dietary supplement is for the herbs or nutrients to break down and be utilized by our bodies. Additives do not generally facilitate this process. The best nutritional supplements promote the quick uptake by the body of the nutrients they possess. They do this by being in a form that the body can easily assimilate so it can access the herb or nutrient and expose it to processes that will ultimately lead to the nutrient taking part in cellular metabolism.

Gluten-Free & Purity Tested Formulas

Gluten sensitivities are becoming more and more common among people. We have made these formulas completely gluten-free so that our supplements will not pose problems for people with this issue. Each and every one of the raw materials in our Emerald formulas are tested for identity, strength, composition and purity.

Vegetable Capsules & Raw Whole-Food Base Formulas

The majority of Emerald products are in vegetable capsules so that vegetarians and people that have concerns about animal-based products can be confident in taking our products. Enzymes, Prebiotics, and Probiotics are some of the primary keys involved in slowing the aging process and maintaining proper absorption. Raw whole foods are rich in essential enzymes which help to maintain excellent health. Digestive and metabolic enzymes as well as healthy “gut” bacteria (probiotics) tend to “drop-off” as we age. Our Raw Whole Food Blend provides a synergistic blend of sprout powders (one of the richest sources of metabolic enzymes), broad-spectrum plant-based digestive enzymes as well as a rich blend of probiotics, raw whole foods and prebiotics (essential food for probiotics).

• Cholesterol under control. A potent, rapidly absorbed blend of natural ingredients and vitamins that support cardiovascular wellness. Promotes lower cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood sugar.
• Good cholesterol promoting pills. Formulated to naturally increase levels of HDL, a good form of cholesterol. HDL returns bad LDL cholesterol to the liver, helping reduce the heart disease risk.
• Tackles high bad cholesterol. LDL cholesterol coats the inside of blood vessels narrowing the passageways. Includes 125 percent of your daily niacin to reduce triglycerides and raise HDL cholesterol.
• Cruelty-free, conscience clear. Cardiovascular health-promoting blend of concentrated vegan ingredients. Detoxifying herbs and naturals including 1000 mg red yeast rice, bergamot, and Aronia berry.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this product Citrinin free
Answer:	The only ingredient listed is Red Yeast Rice.
Question:	What are the size of these capsules
Answer:	They are normal size capsules, easy to swallow. Have used for years!!
Question:	Is this product Citrininin
Answer:	Citrinin is a potential toxin produced by yeast or fungi on grains. I subscribe to consumerlab.com, a very useful tool that gives you a lot of information about supplements. This is one of the products that they tested and all the red yeast rice products that they tested did not contain citrinin. However, the products they tested in 2018 had much lower amounts of the lovastatins, the ingredient that lowers cholesterol, than when they tested them in 2014. This product had more than most. HPF Cholestine had the most. I used that product a while back and it gave me more pain, maybe due to my fibromyalgia, so I have stuck with this one.
Question:	Do they come in gelatin capsules? I prefer that kind
Answer:	Yes they do and from what I understand most of them do. I would give the company a call. Or speak to your local herbal store.

Ingredients

Niacin/Niacinamide

Niacin and niacinamide are both forms of vitamin B3. They work by helping reduce enzymes that break down “good” HDL cholesterol while also preventing cells from releasing the low-density lipoproteins that can cause cardiovascular issues.

Red Yeast Rice

A powerful way to improve heart health for centuries, red yeast rice has also stood up to a great amount of modern medical studies. As a natural statin, it has been shown to lower LDL cholesterol by helping inhibit cholesterol production in the liver.

Key Nutrients

The key ingredients in Essential elements CholestAid are the niacinamide and red yeast rice. Powerful on their own, in combination with each other and the rest of the CholestAid formula, they help improve heart health and better manage cholesterol levels. Furthermore, both have been shown in studies to help lower “bad” LDL cholesterol levels as well as triglycerides and even blood pressure.

Added Benefits

CholesAid's multi-pronged approach also includes the use of antioxidant properties of pine bark extract and garlic’s ability to relax blood vessels. Coupled with encouraging higher “good” cholesterol levels, your body is better able to clear out the bad cholesterol building up within arteries and naturally manage cholesterol levels.

User questions & answers

Question:	It says not be be used by an organ transplant recipient. Why? Ive had a stem cell transplant
Answer:	It could be because statins/RYR also have antibiotic capacity. Statins have been studied regarding transplant patients and whether or not it staves off infection. Both fungal and bacterial
Question:	Can the vendor explain the expiration date ? my bottle has exp 06/23 stamped on the bottom. does this mean june 2023 , or did it expire on june
Answer:	Yes ! This means that this bottle of Cholestene will not expire until June of 2023. I am not the vendor of this product, but I have been using this product for about 9 years. I can tell you that my level of cholesterol was over 300. After 3 months of 4 capsules per day my 3 month check up came back at 165. I went to 3 capsules a day for the next 3 months and it came back at 205. That's is still the amount I take today and it varies about 10 points over the 3 months period. Larry O.
Question:	How large are these pills
Answer:	They are about what I would call an average size gelatin type capsule. They are not hard "pills", they are very easy to swallow. This product is amazing BTW, I was able to lower my numbers to healthy levels within 3 months, and make my Doctor a 'believer' within 6 months. I went from: Total: 233, LDL 175, HDL 43, TRI 76, Ratio 4.07 - to - Total 146, LDL, 87, HDL 52, TRI 67, Ratio 1.89 in 6 months - all totally because of this brand of RYR - after having tried one of the "big major store brands" prior to this, with NO other lifestyle or eating habit changes. ... and NO 'statin' i.e. Rx Drug side effects.
Question:	How much Lovastatin is in each pill
Answer:	6.44mg as of 2018 according to Consumerlab.com. Lovastatin content is down almost 50% from where it was four years ago!
