“Red Yeast Rice contains monacolins, which are chemically similar to prescription statins. For this reason, it is a potent supplement that requires medical supervision. Patients must never take it concurrently with a statin drug and should inform their doctor and pharmacist of its use. Choosing a high-quality, third-party tested product is essential for safety and to ensure it’s free of contaminants like citrinin.”

Red Yeast Rice has been used for centuries in traditional Asian wellness practices. Its benefits come from compounds called monacolins, which are produced during the fermentation process. These compounds have been extensively studied for their role in supporting the body’s ability to maintain healthy cholesterol levels already within a normal range, making it a popular choice for cardiovascular health support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is Red Yeast Rice?
Red Yeast Rice (RYR) is made by fermenting a type of yeast called *Monascus purpureus* over rice. This process produces compounds called monacolins, most notably monacolin K, which is the primary active ingredient studied for its health benefits.
Is this product tested for citrinin?
Yes. As part of our rigorous third-party testing protocol, our Red Yeast Rice is tested to ensure it is free from the potentially harmful contaminant citrinin, which can sometimes be produced during the fermentation process.
Can I take this with my cholesterol medication (statin)?
No. You should not take Red Yeast Rice if you are already taking a prescription statin drug (e.g., atorvastatin, simvastatin). Doing so can dangerously increase your risk of side effects. You must consult your doctor before using this product.
