Red yeast rice has been used in food and traditional medicine for thousands of years in China for cardiovascular support. A red yeast rice extract was fermented with the yeast Monascus purpureus, which produces compounds clinically proven to inhibit cholesterol production in the liver.
Unlike many other red yeast rice supplements on the market, AOR's Red Yeast Rice with Ankascin 568-R undergoes a patented extraction process that removes citrinin, a toxic byproduct of fermentation. Most red yeast rice products on the market also contain monacolin K, a compound associated with adverse effects similar to statins. These adverse effects can include myopathy, muscle pain and weakness, and rhabdomyolysis, a condition in which muscle fibers break down, releasing harmful substances into the blood that can affect the liver and kidneys. Improve your heart health with AOR's Red Yeast Rice.
AOR Red Yeast Rice is the world's first red yeast rice supplement that contains neither monacolin K nor citrinin. In addition, AOR has standardized the content of monascin and ankaflavin, biologically active pigments that have been studied for their cholesterol-lowering activity.
