Red Yeast Rice extract, with its main active components known as monacolins, has a long-standing history in traditional Chinese medicine, notably for its role in improving cardiovascular health. Originating from organic Indian rice fermented by the Monascus purpureus strain, this powerful extract has been utilized to manage cholesterol levels and promote heart health.
In recent years, the use of Red Yeast Rice extract has expanded globally due to its potential health benefits.
Clinical research supports its efficacy in reducing cholesterol levels, which can contribute to a decreased risk of heart disease. Studies indicate that the consistent intake of Red Yeast Rice extract can lead to significant reductions in LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, often referred to as "bad" cholesterol, thereby supporting overall cardiovascular wellness.
Moreover, the traditional use of Red Yeast Rice in managing blood lipid levels is now recognized in the West as an integral part of heart health supplements. The fermentation process, leveraging strains from Thailand (IFRPD 4046) and India (MTCC 1090), on a substrate composition of organic Indian rice, fructose, sodium nitrate, and acetic acid, ensures the high quality and potency of the extract. Produced through a dry yeast culture method in accordance with EU regulations (No 212/2014), this extract is guaranteed to be GMO-free, irradiation-free, and does not contain nanoparticles, aligning with clean label standards.
