Although both contain products that support heart health by helping control blood pressure and lowering cholesterol among other things, this new and improved version also contains resveratrol, a substance that has proven to aid in preventing damage to blood vessels, lowering LDL or bad cholesterol and avoiding blood clots.

It is not recommended to mix this package with statin medication, as you would be consuming an even higher dose of statins upon using the Red Yeast Rice. You should never stop taking a medication prescribed by your doctor nor add supplements on your own without first consulting your doctor.

Omega 3 provides essential fatty acids that help rejuvenate and strengthen the cell membranes of both the heart and the brain. Red Yeast Rice and Hibiscus Tea help regulate blood pressure and LDL cholesterol, while increasing HDL (good) cholesterol. Resveratrol also helps fight inflammation by improving blood flow, among other qualities.

Red Yeast Rice helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels and decreases insulin resistance. Omega 3 helps reduce joint pain and swelling while preventing the deterioration of cognitive functions. Hibiscus Flower contains powerful antioxidants that protect cells from premature deterioration. In addition, resveratrol fights general inflammation and cellular aging within the body.

If taken in the indicated doses, these products are usually safe. Occasionally, both the Red Yeast Rice and Omega 3 may cause some gastrointestinal discomfort. The hibiscus tea may also cause stomach upset and minor discomfort. Resveratrol decreases blood clotting and may affect people who are sensitive to the hormone, such as those with breast or ovarian cancer. Consult your doctor before using any product.
