Lipok Food Supplement, 30 capsules

Lipok 30 capsules is a dietary supplement from Bioksan formulated with red yeast rice, Berberis vulgaris extract standardised for berberine, and coenzyme Q10.

It is designed to supplement the diet of adults who wish to pay particular attention to their cholesterol levels and cardiovascular health, whilst maintaining a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.

Bioksan’s Lipok should not be used as a substitute for prescribed medicines to control cholesterol, triglycerides or glucose. If you have high levels or are undergoing treatment, consult a healthcare professional before using it.

Lipok combines various ingredients, most notably red yeast rice. This ingredient contains monacolins, substances produced during the fermentation of rice with specific yeasts.
