Description
Red Yeast Rice
Description
Food supplement based on fermented rice with Monascus purpureus, useful for maintaining normal plasma cholesterol levels, and Chromium.
Fermented red rice is obtained from the fermentation of common rice, called Oryza sativa, by various strains of a yeast called Monascus purpureus (red yeast), a microorganism that owes its name to its red color. Fermented red rice contains a group of molecules, monacolins; one of these, Monacolin K, is chemically similar to a statin (Lovastatin), a drug normally used to control cholesterol levels through its inhibitory activity on the enzyme hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, responsible for the endogenous synthesis of cholesterol. It should be remembered that the endogenous production of cholesterol affects plasma values by approximately 70-80% while the dietary contribution of cholesterol represents only 30%. Fermented red rice also contains phytosterols (beta-sitosterol and campesterol).
Monacolin K contributes naturally to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels.
