History and Usage:

Red Yeast Rice has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine for a variety of ailments including stomach upset, blood circulation and spleen disorders. It is made by adding the yeast Monoascus purpureus to red rice.

Recent studies suggest that Red Yeast Rice contains substances similar to those active in many drugs that lower cholesterol. It is thought to inhibit the action of the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which is known to increase cholesterol levels. A number of clinical studies have shown Red Yeast Rice to be an effective cholesterol fighter. In a 1999 study, patients using Red Yeast Rice reduced total cholesterol on an average of 16% and lowered LDL (bad) cholesterol by 21%.
