Description:
Red yeast rice powder is obtained through fermentation of permium grains with Monascus purpureus strains. Modern clinical research shows that red kojic contains several physiological active matters, such as Lovastatin, which can adjust abnormal blood lipid levels, lower serum total cholesterol(TC), serum triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL -C), and increase high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C).
The benefits of Red yeast rice are attributed to the presence of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, enzymes in the liver that control the amount of cholesterol produced in the liver. It has been hypothesized that relatively high concentrations of unsaturated fatty acids and other natural compounds found in Red Yeast Rice may work in concert with HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors to provide additional health benefit.
Applications:
As a kind of natural food additives, Red yeast rice powder is widely used in food, pastry, wine, drink, cosmetic, and so on. A kind of medicine which contains red kojic is used in hospitals now.
Functions:
Promotes healthy cholesterol levels
Supported by clinical research
Natural complement to diet
These benefits were established in clinical studies for subjects with total serum cholesterol less than 230 mg/dl. And triglyceride levels less than 200 mg/dl.
