Kyolic Red Yeast Rice plus CoQ10 from Wakunaga combines red yeast rice, odorless aged garlic extract and coenzyme Q10.

The supplement uses organically grown, GMO-free, non-irradiated rice along with organic raw garlic.



WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
Wakunaga’s Weight-Off is a weight management supplement designed to support healthy thyroid function and blood sugar levels. In addition to ingredients like raspberry ketones and French green coffee extract, Weight-Off also contains two proprietary complexes: Slim-Force, which supports thyroid health while helping block carbohydrates, and Lipo-Glow, which Wakunaga says can increase calorie burning.



GARCINIA CAMBOGIA
Super Citrimax Garcinia Cambogia combines garcinia cambogia with calcium and potassium to support weight management. In one study, human subjects taking Super Citrimax reduced their 24-hour food consumption by 15–30% compared to a placebo group. In another study, subjects taking this supplement lost an average of 11 pounds over an eight-week period.

SEXUAL HEALTH
