Red Rice Yeast (RYR) 600 mg x 120 capsules

Description

Red Yeast Rice — as effective as ‘statin’ drugs, cheaper, and with fewer side effects

Chinese
red yeast, Monascus purpureus, contains a family of
substances that inhibit an enzyme responsible for making cholesterol in the
body. In clinical studies, extracts of M. purpureus reduce
LDL cholesterol levels by about 31% and triglycerides by 34%. In animal
studies, a reduction in atherosclerotic plaques has also been shown.

The dried yeast contains a family of compounds (‘monacolins’) that are similar in chemical structure to the expensive ‘statin’
drugs for high cholesterol. It also contains other medically active compounds that contribute to its benefits.
