Analysis

Solaray Red Yeast Rice CoQ-10 is a comprehensive supplement primarily targeted at cardiovascular health, combining Red Yeast Rice (known for natural statin-like effects) and CoQ10 (essential for cellular energy and often recommended alongside statin-like compounds). It also includes a total of 100mg of niacin, split between 50mg of likely nicotinic acid and 50mg of flush-free inositol hexanicotinate. While the niacin contributes to general metabolic and energy support, the dosage is low for significant independent therapeutic effects related to niacin's specific heart or skin benefits, especially given the presence of other potent ingredients for heart health.

Pros
  • Synergistic blend for heart health (Red Yeast Rice, CoQ10)
  • Includes both traditional and flush-free niacin forms
  • Good for overall wellness
Cons
  • Niacin dose (100mg total) is low for standalone therapeutic effects on cholesterol
  • Higher price per serving due to multiple ingredients
Warnings
  • Red Yeast Rice may interact with medications and has potential side effects similar to statins; consult a healthcare professional.

Categories
Niacin 70.0
While it contains niacin, this product is more of a multi-ingredient heart health formula rather than a dedicated niacin supplement, limiting its focus solely on niacin's benefits.
Goals
Heart Health 80.0
The combination of Red Yeast Rice and CoQ10 significantly supports cardiovascular health, and the niacin, while low in dose, still contributes to metabolic functions relevant to heart health.
Energy 80.0
The niacin content, along with CoQ10, contributes to cellular energy production and overall metabolic efficiency.
Metabolism Boost 80.0
Niacin's role in metabolism, combined with CoQ10's role in cellular energy, supports an overall metabolic boost, though the niacin dose is moderate.
