Should I take Durable HEART or Durable RED YEAST RICE?
+
Durable HEART and Durable RED YEAST RICE work in different ways in the body, so combining them can be a great option for maximum cardiovascular protection. It’s also worth considering Durable RED YEAST RICE if you tried Durable HEART but didn’t get the results you were hoping for, since natural ingredients affect everyone differently.*
While both Durable HEART and Durable RED YEAST RICE are effective at promoting healthy cholesterol levels—and can be taken together—each formula offers distinct benefits because their primary ingredients work via different mechanisms of action.*
In my clinical practice, I often use the combination of these two formulas to support balanced cholesterol levels and cardiovascular health in my patients.*
The Bergamonte® bergamot extract in Durable HEART helps lower cholesterol and supports blood sugar balance by targeting pathways of energy metabolism that have been shown to help balance lipids and blood sugar. The antioxidant polyphenols found in Bergamonte® help reduce LDL oxidation, which supports arterial health. In addition, Durable HEART helps improve HDL (“good”) cholesterol and triglyceride levels more effectively than red yeast rice.*
Consider Durable HEART if you are just starting on your journey to support healthy cholesterol levels using natural approaches. Durable HEART is also a great option if you want an umbrella of support for balancing LDL, HDL and overall cholesterol, as well as triglycerides and blood sugar.*
The monacolins found in Durable RED YEAST RICE very effectively target the enzyme pathway in the liver responsible for the synthesis of cholesterol. In addition, red yeast rice contains a variety of isoflavones, plant sterols and polyphenols that help to balance cholesterol levels. Red yeast rice has also been shown to reduce key inflammatory markers that impact cardiovascular health.*
With its more specific mechanism of action, red yeast rice has advantages for those who need more aggressive, targeted support for balancing overall and LDL cholesterol levels. If you have struggled with balancing your cholesterol levels naturally, it may be time to try Durable RED YEAST RICE.*
Should anyone NOT take red yeast rice?
+
If you have established liver disease, you should not take red yeast rice. Additionally, if you are taking a prescription medication for cholesterol, you should not take red yeast rice. Durable HEART may be a better option for you. The Bergamonte® citrus bergamot extract in Durable HEART has been shown to be safe and effective for use in combination with prescription cholesterol-lowering medications and may even enhance their effectiveness.*

Along with our bestselling Durable HEART formula, which can offer complementary support for healthy cholesterol levels, there are a few additional Durable products that can support other aspects of your cardiovascular health.*
Research shows that magnesium is an essential nutrient for heart health, so you might want to consider adding Durable MAGNESIUM to your regimen for extra support.
In addition, our Durable CoQ10 formula provides an extra-strength dose of this critical cardiovascular nutrient in an industry-leading, crystal-freeform, delivered as a softgel for maximum absorption.
