What is Red Yeast Rice Good For?

So, what is red yeast rice good for? It is a fermented rice that is made using a specific group of mold.

Red yeast rice (RYR) contains the compound monacolin K which is the same active ingredient found in many prescription cholesterol medications like lovastatin.

Although RYR is a relatively new product in the vitamin and supplement world, it has been made and consumed within eastern cultures for over a thousand years.

Everyone that is familiar with RYR knows that it is popular for its ability to help manage proper cholesterol levels and help prevent heart disease.

It is commonly used as a natural way to regulate proper cholesterol levels without some of the harsh side effects that cholesterol related prescription drugs can cause.

There was even a study conducted that revealed red yeast rice lowering total cholesterol by an average of 15% and LDL cholesterol by 21% in 25 people over a two month period.

Whether RYR can be a natural replacement to pharmaceutical drugs is still extremely controversial and undecided.

But that’s not all. There are RYR benefits not related to heart health. Those benefits include the ability to help with metabolic syndrome, reduce inflammation, and contained anticancer properties.

There are also a number of different formulas, like our formula of RYR with CoQ10, with a number of added ingredients that create increased beneficial effects like liver support.
