Red Yeast Rice

Red yeast rice is produced by fermenting monascus purpureus yeast over red rice. Red yeast rice is a product native to China and Asia, and has been used for over three thousand years in traditional Chinese medicine systems.

Red yeast rice has been used as a food flavoring agent, but also as a traditional medicine to promote circulation and heart health. Modern science suggests that red yeast rice may be useful for these purposes. Research suggests that red yeast rice contains mevinolin - a chemical thought to help maintain cholesterol levels already in the normal range and to promote cardiovascular health.
