Ask the Pharmacist

The doctor suggests Cardiol Forte for high cholesterol, what do you think?

Dear Loredana,

my advice is to follow your doctor's instructions. Cardiol Forte, in fact, is a dietary supplement that contains the Monacolin K, a natural statin derived from fermented red rice, which helps maintain normal blood cholesterol levels.

Cardiol Forte is also rich in the omega-3 EPA and DHA from fish oil that support normal heart function, and also contains natural molecules that help reduce oxidative stress and regulate the metabolism of homocysteine, a substance that in excess in our bodies is a risk factor for many cardiovascular diseases. 

To learn more about the benefits of Monacolin K, I recommend that you read this piece published on our blog.
