Red Yeast Rice lowers total cholesterol levels by increasing the good cholesterol (HDL) and decreasing bad cholesterol (LDL) levels. It is a natural alternative to the statins, which are prescription drugs for high cholesterol levels. Red Yeast Rice supplements are recommended for hypercholesterolemia, atherosclerosis, and coronary artery disease. It may also be useful for patients who had heart attacks due to cholesterol plaques in the blood vessels and may also be used as prevention of disorders related to high cholesterol.

Red Yeast Rice (Monascus purpureus) is a dietary supplement that lowers cholesterol in the body. Before it became famous as a natural cholesterol lowering agent, it has been part of the Chinese cuisine and traditional medicine for centuries now. In the Chinese kitchen, it is used as preservative, food colouring, and spice. It is responsible for the red colour of the famous Peking duck. This red rice is also a primary ingredient for Chinese red wine, fish paste, and fish sauce. Traditional Chinese medicine prescribes red yeast rice as remedy for blood circulation problems, gastric disorders, and spleen problems. How does it work? Red Yeast Rice naturally contains lovastatin, a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor. It halts the production of HMG-CoA reductase, the enzyme responsible for cholesterol production.
