• Red Yeast Rice is a staple food product consumed for hundreds of years in China.

When fermented the resultant rice has a distinctive red colour and contains a material known as

“Monacolin K”

• The naturally occurring Monacolin K works in the body very much like the pharmaceutical drugs known as “statins” which reduce the level of LDL Cholesterol (bad cholesterol) circulating in the blood and so help reduce cholesterol.

• Regular intake of quality Red Yeast Rice can help reduce bad cholesterol and so improve health.

“Monacolin K from Red Yeast Rice preparations contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol concentrations”
