Properties

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are one of the main causes of mortality in the population of most economically developed countries. One of the main risk factors is an increased level of cholesterol in the blood. An increase in cholesterol levels provokes the appearance of atherosclerotic plaques on the walls of blood vessels, which can lead to the development of heart attack, stroke, and thrombosis – life-threatening health conditions.

According to data from the State Research Center for Preventive Medicine, about 60% of the adult population in Russia has an elevated level of total cholesterol.

Consumption of the dietary supplement CardioM Monacolin K Forte at the recommended intake level can serve as an additional source of omega-3 fatty acids – eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and also contribute to the normalization of lipid metabolism and support of the cardiovascular system function.
