Ricepure Red Yeast Rice One A Day Capsules - 90s

Red yeast rice has been widely used in Asian cuisines as a coloring agent and taste enhancer.

It has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries for maintaining health but it has only been in the last few years that the link between Red yeast rice and lowering cholesterol was discovered.

It is prepared by fermenting rice with the yeast Monastics purpureus.

It contains eight mevinic acids (natural statins) mainly monacolin K.

In addition, it contains plant sterols similar to those found in cholesterol lowering margarines and yoghurts.

Its overall cholesterol-lowering effect may be due to a combination of several of its constituents.

In manufacturing it for use as a supplement, temperature and growing conditions are carefully controlled to increase the concentration of active ingredients.
