From the constant research of the Yamamoto® Research R&D team comes Coletix, a dietary supplement containing Olecol®-certified olive tree extract, fermented red rice (Monascus purpureus), gamma oryzanol and supplemented with coenzyme Q10, which, thanks to the synergy of the active ingredients contained, contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels, supports good blood circulation and the regularity of arterial pressure. Coletix provides 58 mg/daily dose of fermented red rice titrated at 2.76% in total monacolin (2.76 mg per daily dose, in compliance with the new European regulations on the use of Monacolin K).

Cardiovascular diseases are nowadays among the leading causes of disability and mortality in Western and developing countries, and are favoured by unhealthy lifestyles, unbalanced diet, excessive “junk food”, little or no physical activity, and smoking. The main factors influencing propensity to cardiovascular disease and disorders are cholesterol imbalance (hypercholesterolaemia), hypertriglyceridaemia, hypertension, diabetes and insulin resistance, as well as obesity. Specifically, it is a good idea to keep an eye on the entire lipid balance in order to guard against the formation of atherosclerotic plaques along the walls of the blood vessels, which are favoured by inflammation and hypertension, will potentially clog the vessels and cause very serious consequences on the cardiovascular system.

Coletix is the product Yamamoto® Research developed to promote and support good blood circulation, heart health and maintain normal levels of triglycerides and cholesterol in the blood. A titrated and standardised plant extract was chosen for the formulation, which allows the natural active ingredients to remain qualitatively and quantitatively constant, ensuring the product's stability, bioavailability and efficacy. The product has the following synergies:

  • Olecol® olive extract;

  • Fermented red rice;

  • Gamma oryzanol;

  • Coenzyme Q10.

In detail, Monacolin K from fermented red rice is a molecule belonging to the group of Monacolins, which originates from the fermentation of the common red cooking rice Oryza sativa through the action of the yeast Monascus purpureus, also known as 'red yeast, which gives it its characteristic colour. Having always been used in oriental cooking as a substitute for vinegar and as a health agent, the fermentation of this rice makes it possible to obtain numerous substances, the monacolines, which have a cholesterolaemic effect. Indeed, Traditional Chinese Medicine suggests the consumption of fermented red rice to cure circulatory disorders and also in cases of gastrointestinal discomfort, but the discovery of the molecule to which most of the beneficial characteristics are attributed dates back to 1979. In that year, Professor Aika Endo, while studying the fermentation of “red yeast”, discovered that a metabolite produced in the fermentation process could inhibit the enzyme HMG-CoA-reductase, one of the main enzymes involved in the synthesis of cholesterol (which occurs in the liver). This metabolite was Monacolin K.

Plant-based statins, such as Monacolin K, have been shown to possess cholesterolaemic properties. Consumption must, however, comply with the recommended doses in order to avoid side effects such as weakness, muscle pain, gastrointestinal or liver disorders.

Olive extract promotes normal blood circulation and regularity of blood pressure. The Oleuropein contained in Coletix is represented by Olecol®, a patented, highly water-soluble, standardised Bioactor product, extracted from the olive leaf, with a very high concentration of bioavailable Oleuropine, which has been shown through a dual mechanism of action to promote normal blood circulation and regular blood pressure. It is a natural ingredient that offers a safe approach to managing blood lipid levels, which can increase levels of good cholesterol (HDL) and combat lipid oxidation, and whose validity has also been demonstrated in multiple randomised, placebo-controlled studies.

Gamma oryzanol is a substance that is extracted from rice bran oil; it is also present in wheat bran, some fruits and certain vegetables. Gamma oryzanol is believed to reduce cholesterol levels by limiting its absorption from food, which is why it is mainly proposed to treat cases where cholesterol is high. In particular, gamma oryzanol appears to reduce levels of total cholesterol, bad cholesterol (LDL, LowDensityLipoproteins) and triglyceride levels, as well as having metabolic, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.

Coenzyme Q10, also known as ubiquinone due to its ubiquitous role in the body, is a very important molecule for our body. It is mainly present in the mitochondria, the energy stations of cells, and also in the heart muscle, although it is present in many human tissues. It is involved in the cell's electron transfer processes, and is a powerful antioxidant that protects membranes from oxidative damage. Since cholesterol-lowering statins also reduce the production of Coenzyme Q10, it is very useful to replenish levels of this substance when taking active ingredients, even natural ones, that could lower its physiological levels.

The synergistic combination of active ingredients contained in Coletix helps reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood, supports heart health and blood pressure regularity and protects HDL (good) cholesterol by limiting the oxidation of LDL (bad) cholesterol and may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.
