Red Yeast Rice 90 Vegetable Capsules

Red yeast rice is the result of the yeast Monascus purpureus, which grows on rice. Since rice is mainly grown in Asia and is the central part of Chinese and other Asian diets, the first recorded use of red yeast rice was reported in China in 800 A.D. During this time, it was believed to be helpful in the treatment of stomach discomfort, such as diarrhea and indigestion. It was also believed to promote healthy blood circulation.

The Western world came to learn about the ingredient’s benefits later. In the United States, red yeast rice is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure. In the 1970s, it was found to have an effect that reduced levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or “bad cholesterol”. This is because of red yeast rice’s combination of healthy fats—including sterols, monounsaturated fatty acids, and isoflavones. Another important ingredient in red yeast rice is lovastatin, which is an active ingredient in the cholesterol lowering prescription drug Mevacor®.

In some cases, red yeast rice may produce mycotoxins that can lead to disease and death in humans. Xymogen’s Red Yeast Rice Vegetable Capsules provide the natural ingredient.
