Red Yeast Rice Extract

Product Description

Maintains healthy cholesterol levels

Red Yeast Rice Extract has been used in China for centuries as both a food and as a medicinal substance. Recently, it has been discovered that red yeast rice contains substances similar to prescription medications that lower cholesterol.^†

• Red Yeast Rice Extract contains the botanical Monascus purpureus.^†
• Red Yeast Rice Extractcontains Mevinolin, a naturally-occurring statin.^†
• Red Yeast Rice Extract helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels and promotes blood circulation for cardiovascular health.^†

Red Yeast Rice Extract appears to act in much the same way as prescription Statin drugs. This unfortunately means it can cause the same side effects. To date, studies have not specifically investigated the safety of red yeast rice in elderly people. However, elderly patients taking 1,200 mg per day of red yeast rice in an 8-week trial experienced no significant side effects.^†

Red Yeast Rice Extract should not be taken with cholesterol prescription (statin) drugs. Do not take if you are under age 20. Avoid if you have liver disease or are pregnant or lactating.
