How It Works
Red yeast rice, a natural byproduct of fermented red rice, is made by fermenting a specific, colorful strain of yeast over rice.
Monascus purpureus is a type of red yeast that is combined with rice and fermented. Extracts are then taken from the bright red rice to create the supplement known as red yeast rice.
For more than 1,000 years, red yeast rice has been used in China in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and also in Asian cuisine as a flavoring, coloring and for preserving food.
Red yeast rice is rich in nutrients that may naturally help slow the liver’s normal ability to produce cholesterol.
Research has shown that monacolin K, the most studied active compound in red yeast rice, works in a similar manner as certain prescription drugs used to maintain healthy cholesterol levels.
Studies also indicate that red yeast rice appears to be an overall tolerable and safe dietary supplement for supporting normal-range cholesterol levels, even among individuals previously intolerant to statin treatment.
