What can be used instead of monacolin K (Lipiforma, Armolipid)?

The use of white mulberry extracts to support carbohydrate metabolism and extracts of artichoke and milk thistle in supporting liver function and lipid metabolism is the correct procedure. What I encourage you to do is to regularly check parameters such as glycemia and lipidogram. This type of examination can be performed free of charge, having a referral from a general practitioner. Indeed, dietary supplements containing fermented red rice extract, such as Lipiforma Plus, for example, have been withdrawn from the market due to the content of monacolin K - a natural statin, in a dose of more than 3 mg. The reason for the withdrawal of this type of product from the market is the fact that monacolin K, analogous to statins issued with a doctor's prescription, can cause side effects, mainly affecting musculoskeletal and connective tissue (including the occurrence of rhabdomyolysis), liver and nervous system. Therefore, these preparations should not be taken without a clear indication of the doctor and beyond his control. When it comes to plant preparations with a scientifically proven cholesterol-lowering effect and confirmed in the effectiveness profile studies, it is worth considering supplementation with preparations containing Italian bergamot extract, e.g. Beragmil Forte: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/105664/bergamil-forte-kapsulki/apteki or Berimal Forte: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/97744/berimal-forte-kapsulki/apteki.
