This mineral is required by the prostate gland roughly ten (10) times more than any other organ in the body. Studies have confirmed that supplementation with this mineral reduces enlargement of the prostate and relieves symptoms of benign prostate hypertrophy (BPH), thus explaining its recommendation for both prevention and treatment of this condition. In addition, this mineral is found in relatively high concentrations in the retina, where it plays an integral role in maintaining normal eye function. In fact, low dietary levels of this mineral appear to be related to an increased risk for developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Furthermore, this mineral is necessary for fertility and reproduction, immune system health, insulin function, thyroid hormone metabolism, bone strength and growth, night vision, taste and appetite, and virtually every enzymatic reaction that occurs in the brain and central nervous system. What is this mineral?

This nutritional supplement has been used for centuries in Chinese cuisine and as a medicinal food to promote blood circulation. This naturally-fermented product contains important substances known as monacolins, which have the ability to inhibit HMG-CoA reductase—an enzyme responsible for cholesterol synthesis in the liver. HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors help regulate the body’s cholesterol production and increase the liver’s removal of LDL (“bad”) cholesterol from the blood. In fact, this nutritional supplement has been shown to significantly decrease total cholesterol levels in hyperlipidemic (elevated blood fats) subjects, and has proved to be a cost-saving cholesterol-lowering medication.
