Red Yeast Rice
Red yeast rice is a traditional Chinese food and herbal remedy made from fermented rice that has been inoculated with the yeast Monascus purpureus. This product is notable for its active compounds, particularly monacolin K, which has a chemical structure similar to that of the cholesterol-lowering drug lovastatin. As such, red yeast rice has been studied for its potential to support cardiovascular health by helping to lower LDL cholesterol levels and improve overall lipid profiles. Additionally, red yeast rice is believed to possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which may contribute to its heart health benefits.
