Helpful Product Information
Quick Answer
Armolipid provides red yeast rice, folic acid, Coenzyme Q10 and astaxanthin in a once-daily tablet. Each tablet contains 2.8 mg monacolins from fermented red yeast rice and 200 µg folic acid.
Important Information About Red Yeast Rice
The amount of monacolins is particularly important.
Each Armolipid tablet provides 2.8 mg monacolins. Current EU legislation prohibits 3 mg or more of monacolins from red yeast rice per portion recommended for daily consumption.
This does not, however, permit a cholesterol health claim. The previous authorised red yeast rice/monacolin K cholesterol claim has been revoked.

Armolipid contains monacolins from red yeast rice and should therefore be used with particular attention to the warnings on the pack.
