Quest Cholesterol Biotix is a natural dietary supplement designed to help maintain normal blood cholesterol levels. Each bottle contains 30 delayed-release capsules that combine several ingredients that work together to support cardiovascular health. It is not a replacement for statin medication, but some individuals use it as a natural alternative.
Key ingredients
- Plant sterols (phytosterols): These compounds naturally found in plants compete with cholesterol for absorption in the intestines, thereby helping to lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels.
- Red yeast rice extract (Monascus purpureus): This ingredient contains monacolin-K, which works by inhibiting an enzyme in the liver that is responsible for producing cholesterol.
- Lactobacilli probiotic bacteria: Specific strains, like L. rhamnosus and L. bulgaricus, are included to aid in cholesterol metabolism and removal from the body.
- Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10): This antioxidant is often included in cholesterol-lowering supplements, particularly those containing red yeast rice, as CoQ10 levels can be depleted by the same mechanism that lowers cholesterol.
Potential benefits:
- Supports cardiovascular health: By helping to maintain normal cholesterol levels, the supplement supports overall heart and circulatory system function. Maintaining a healthy cholesterol balance is a key strategy for reducing the risk of heart-related conditions.
- Aids cholesterol removal: Certain probiotic strains, such as the Lactobacilli included in this formula, can help remove excess cholesterol from the body. They do this by modulating the gut microbiota and interfering with the absorption of bile salts, which are made from cholesterol.
- Replenishes CoQ10 levels: Red yeast rice can sometimes deplete the body's natural levels of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), a vital antioxidant. The inclusion of CoQ10 in the formula helps counteract this effect and supports cellular energy and antioxidant protection for the heart.
Potential side effects
- The supplement is generally well-tolerated, but some individuals may experience mild digestive issues when starting, such as gas or bloating, as their body adjusts to the probiotics.
Suitable for
- Adults seeking natural cholesterol support: The combination of plant sterols, red yeast rice, probiotics, and CoQ10 is designed for those who want a natural way to help regulate their cholesterol.
- Vegans and vegetarians: The capsules are free of animal substances, making them suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets.
- Individuals with certain dietary restrictions: It is free from dairy, gluten, and nuts.
Not suitable for
- Individuals taking statin medication: Due to the red yeast rice content, which functions similarly to statins, this supplement is contraindicated for people already on cholesterol-lowering medication.
- Pregnant or lactating women: There is not enough reliable information on the safety of plant sterols during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and therefore, it should be avoided.
- Children and older adults: This product is not recommended for children under 18 or adults over 70.
- People with existing health conditions: Individuals with a rare inherited fat storage disease called sitosterolemia should not take this supplement. Those with short bowel syndrome should also use caution.
- Those taking other red yeast rice products: You should not consume this product if you are already taking other supplements containing red yeast rice.
- Anyone relying on it as a substitute for a healthy lifestyle: The supplement is intended to complement, not replace, a balanced diet and exercise.
