Four heart-and-cholesterol actives - in one daily softgel.
Red Yeast Rice Base
Red yeast rice (Monascus pilosus) is the traditional fermented ingredient at the core of the formula, paired here with plant sterols and CoQ10.
Plant Sterols
Free plant sterols - Beta-Sitosterol, Campesterol and Stigmasterol - help support healthy cholesterol as part of a diet low in saturated fat.
CoQ10 Antioxidant
Coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone) is an antioxidant for the maintenance of good health and a natural cofactor in heart-muscle energy metabolism.
Omega-3 EPA and DHA
EPA and DHA from molecularly distilled fish oil help support cardiovascular and heart health.
Inside every serving
Two softgels deliver red yeast rice, free plant sterols, Coenzyme Q10 and omega-3 EPA and DHA in one daily cardio-support formula.
How Natra CHOLESTcontrol compares
Why a combined cardio formula can beat stacking single jars.

What the research says about the ingredients
Peer-reviewed studies and reviews on the individual ingredients - red yeast rice, plant sterols, beta-sitosterol, Coenzyme Q10 and omega-3 EPA and DHA - shared for education, not as claims about this finished product. This product's claims are the statements authorized under its Natural Health Product licence, NPN 80128240.
Lowers total and LDL cholesterol
A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials found red yeast rice supplementation significantly reduced total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides and modestly raised HDL in adults.
Meta-analysisReduces cholesterol in hypercholesterolemia
A systematic review and meta-analysis of 14 double-blind clinical trials reported red yeast rice extract significantly reduced total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol in people with high cholesterol.
Meta-analysisEffective and relatively safe alternative
A meta-analysis of 13 placebo-controlled trials concluded red yeast rice is an effective and relatively safe approach for dyslipidemia, lowering total cholesterol, LDL and triglycerides.
Meta-analysisLow-dose monacolin K trial
A multicenter randomized trial in adults with mild dyslipidemia found low-dose red yeast rice containing monacolin K significantly lowered LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol and apolipoprotein B versus diet alone.
Human RCTMonacolin K-rich red yeast rice
A randomized double-blind trial reported that monacolin K-rich red yeast rice (Monascus pilosus) significantly reduced serum total and LDL cholesterol over a 3-month intervention compared with placebo.
Human RCTComparable to a statin in trials
A systematic review of randomized trials found red yeast rice and simvastatin produced similar lipid-lowering effects across the outcomes examined.
Systematic reviewPooled safety analysis
A meta-analysis of 53 randomized controlled trials found red yeast rice was generally well tolerated, with monacolin K not associated with an increased risk of muscle disorders versus control.
Meta-analysisAmong the most effective nutraceuticals
A network meta-analysis of 131 trials ranked red yeast rice among the most effective lipid-lowering nutraceuticals for reducing LDL and total cholesterol.
Network meta-analysisLess muscle fatigue than a statin
A randomized pilot trial in dyslipidemic patients found red yeast rice caused less muscle-fatigue symptom than simvastatin while achieving comparable lipid lowering.
Human RCTDose-dependent LDL reduction
A meta-analysis of 124 randomized studies found plant sterols and stanols lowered LDL cholesterol by about 6 to 12 percent, with the effect increasing up to intakes near 3 g per day.
Meta-analysisEffective in capsule and tablet form
A systematic review and meta-analysis found plant sterol or stanol supplements in capsule or tablet form lowered LDL cholesterol by about 12 mg/dL, comparable to food-based formats.
Meta-analysisAdded benefit alongside statins
A meta-analysis of randomized trials found that adding plant sterols or stanols to statin therapy further lowered total and LDL cholesterol versus statin alone.
Meta-analysisCompetes with cholesterol for absorption
A review explains that plant sterols such as beta-sitosterol compete with cholesterol for intestinal absorption, an action linked to an average 5 to 15 percent reduction in LDL cholesterol.
ReviewSelective sterol absorption
A review of sitosterolemia describes how the body normally absorbs only about 1 percent of plant sterols while excluding them, illustrating the selective sterol-handling pathway sterols act on.
ReviewReduces cholesterol absorption and synthesis
An experimental study reported that beta-sitosterol lowered plasma total cholesterol by increasing sterol excretion and down-regulating intestinal cholesterol absorption and hepatic synthesis enzymes.
Mechanistic studyReduced major cardiovascular events
A state-of-the-art review highlights the Q-SYMBIO randomized controlled trial, in which CoQ10 supplementation reduced major adverse cardiovascular events in a contemporary heart-failure population.
ReviewMyocardial CoQ10 declines in heart failure
A review notes that myocardial CoQ10 content tends to fall as heart failure worsens, and summarizes controlled trials linking supplementation to improved functional measures.
ReviewRaises blood CoQ10 levels
A Cochrane review of randomized trials found CoQ10 supplementation reliably increased blood CoQ10 levels, while noting that clinical-endpoint evidence in heart failure remained limited.
Meta-analysisAntioxidant and energy cofactor
A review describes Coenzyme Q10 as a ubiquitous antioxidant and electron-transfer molecule that is highly concentrated in energy-demanding organs such as the heart.
ReviewStatins lower circulating CoQ10
A meta-analysis of 12 randomized controlled trials found statin treatment reduced circulating CoQ10 levels, providing a rationale some studies cite for CoQ10 supplementation.
Meta-analysisPossible benefit on mortality
A systematic review and economic evaluation of 26 trials found a possible benefit of CoQ10 on all-cause mortality in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, with no signal of increased adverse events.
Systematic reviewLowers triglycerides
A large Cochrane review found that increasing long-chain omega-3 (EPA and DHA) reduced serum triglycerides by roughly 15 percent in a dose-dependent way, mainly from supplement trials.
Meta-analysisDose-dependent triglyceride effect
A dose-response meta-analysis of 90 randomized trials found combined EPA and DHA intake lowered triglycerides and non-HDL cholesterol in a near-linear fashion, especially at higher doses.
Meta-analysisReduced cardiovascular events
A meta-analysis of 38 randomized trials in nearly 150,000 participants found omega-3 fatty acids were associated with reduced cardiovascular mortality and non-fatal cardiovascular events.

What is red yeast rice?
Red yeast rice (Monascus pilosus) is rice fermented with a red yeast and has a long history of traditional use. In this product it is combined with plant sterols, CoQ10 and omega-3.

Does it contain dairy or gluten?
The label states dairy-free and gluten-free. The softgel shell uses bovine gelatin, and fish oil is molecularly distilled - always confirm allergens against the supplement-facts panel.
