Lipok Food Supplement, Pack of 3 x 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.

The formula is rounded off with berberine and coenzyme Q10. Coenzyme Q10 is a substance naturally present in the body that plays a role in various cellular processes.

This supplement should not be regarded as an alternative to pharmacological treatments for hypercholesterolaemia, nor should it be used to alter or discontinue a prescribed treatment without medical advice.

• Red yeast rice: 250 mg.
• Coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone): 50 mg.

• Coating agent: gelatine and colourings.

Always check the up-to-date labelling on the packaging to verify the amount of monacolins provided by the daily dose and the full list of ingredients and allergens.

The recommended dosage is 1 capsule a day with plenty of water, preferably in the evening.

Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Lipok provides approximately 30 days’ supply when taken as directed.
