Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced and varied diet.
The yeast Monascus purpureus, grown on rice, is known in the nutritional industry as Red Yeast Rice (RYR). In many Asian countries, it is a dietary staple. The major components of RYR are the monacolins.
These compounds are recognised as having a positive impact on cholesterol synthesis. Its specific action has been associated with inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Red Yeast Rice has been utilised for thousands of years.
The amount of Monacolin K in 3 capsules of this supplement ranges between 4.8mg to 9.6mg of Monacolin K; because of the natural source from which this is derived, levels vary per batch. This level has been shown to lower LDL cholesterol and is therefore a treatment option for lowering LDL-C levels.
