Comparing the potency or effectiveness of supplements such as Armolipid and Monarte can be complicated, as there is no legal obligation to test the effectiveness of dietary supplements. Their effectiveness may depend on the individual health needs of the person.
Armolipid is a dietary supplement that contains red fermented rice, policosanol, folic acid, coenzyme Q10 and astaxanthin. It is often used to improve the lipid profile.
Monarte is a dietary supplement containing a unique composition of plant extracts (bergamot, red rice, seaweed fucoidan), vitamins and minerals. It supports the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels and protects the circulatory system, it also helps in the prevention of heart and vascular diseases.

According to current medical literature, red fermented rice (monacolin K) significantly reduces total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol. Beneficial effects in clinical trials were also obtained in combination of monacolin K with policosanol and berberine. However, the problem is low doses allowed for use in dietary supplements.

In any case, it is always worth consulting a doctor before starting to use any dietary supplement to get individual recommendations and assessment of whether a given supplement is suitable for your current state of health.
