ArmoLipid (policosanol) is used to improve the lipid profile of blood plasma in dyslipidemia, as well as a supplement to a balanced diet.
Description
Ingredients
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
- 10 mg of policosanols;
- 200 mg Monascus purpureus fermented rice (red fermented rice), equivalent to 3 mg monacolin;
- 0.2 mg folic acid;
- 2.0 mg coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)
- 0.5 mg astaxanthin.
The results of the evaluation of clinical efficacy 1-3 with ArmoLIPID showed a decrease in total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, a decrease in homocysteine and a favorable safety profile.
pharmachologic effect
Biologically active food supplement – a source of astaxanthin, an additional source of folic acid.
Policosanols, red fermented rice and coenzyme Q10 are included in the product. Cardiovascular risk
Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease is 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 (LDL) cholesterol above the recommended value is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events.
• Reducing LDL cholesterol to optimal levels reduces this risk
• An independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease is a high level of homocysteine in the blood, a condition that can develop in case of folic acid deficiency
• Oxidative stress caused by increased free radicals in the body due to poor diet, smoking, intense exercise and diseases, has a proatherogenic effect, increases the risk of an adverse outcome of cardiovascular diseases.
An important reason for the development of atherosclerosis is an excessive or unbalanced diet, which leads to an increase in the level of cholesterol in the blood, changes the lipid profile and determines the lack 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 nutritional supplements and nutraceuticals (such as red yeast rice and policosanol) that can be used as an alternative or in addition to lipid-lowering drugs in certain settings.
Red Yeast Rice
Red fermented (yeast) rice is a fermentation product of the fungus Monascus purpureus and contains monacolin K, which is able to modulate blood lipid levels. In ArmoLIPID, red yeast rice is produced under standard conditions with a specific strain of Monascus purpureus selected for optimal yield of monacolin K (the main active ingredient in red yeast rice), with a well-defined and guaranteed titer analysis. Experimental and clinical studies have shown that red yeast rice lowers total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol.
Policosanol
Policosanols are a mixture of natural (natural) fatty alcohols found in the wax matrix of sugar cane (Saccharum officinarum), rice bran (Oryza sativa) and beeswax (Apis mellifera). The policosanol contained in ArmoLIPID is obtained from sugar cane. Policosanol increases 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 remethylation 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 currently the most common form of hypovitaminosis. The daily requirement for folic acid is 0.2 mg. ArmoLIPID contains the daily requirement of folic acid.
Astaxanthin
Astaxanthin is one of the most powerful antioxidants found in nature. Its antioxidant activity is 100-500 times higher than that of vitamin E, 6 times greater than that of beta-carotene, and 4 times greater than that of lutein. Due to its antioxidant properties, astaxanthin inhibits peroxidation and prevents the formation of pro-atherogenic 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 as an adjunct to lifestyle changes, as well as to supplement a balanced diet for mild to moderate hypercholesterolemia and to reduce oxidative stress.
