Product Fact Sheet

Red Yeast Rice 500mg

Red yeast rice is recorded in Bencao Gangmu, a representative book on Chinese medicine. Red yeast rice contains the compound monacolin K – the same active ingredient found in prescription cholesterol-lowering medications like lovastatin. Monacolins inhibit HMG CoA (3-hydroxy-3-methyl- glutaryl-coenzyme A) reductase, the rate-limiting step in cholesterol synthesis.
