What is Red Yeast Rice?
Red Yeast Rice is a medicinal agent that can be traced back thousands of years ago to the Tang and Ming Dynasty. Made from fermenting a strain of red yeast called Monascus Purpureus over rice to achieve monacolins , Red Yeast Rice, or “Hong Qu” in Chinese, was commonly used to aid digestion and improve circulation in the past. It has since evolved to become both a source of food and herbal medicine throughout Asia.
Introducing LAC Activated® Red Yeast Rice
LAC Activated® Red Yeast Rice is made using the same, unique fermentation process derived from Monascus Purpureus. Using only a premium grade of organic rice, Monascus Purpureus enables the formulation of natural HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (Monacolin K), natural pigments and fatty acids.
What is Monacolin K?
Monacolin K manages cholesterol levels to an amount consistent with normal body function. This is done by supporting the production of "good" blood lipids (HDL) and reducing of “bad” blood lipids (LDL) levels. Research has shown that at least 10mg of Monacolin K daily can positively impact blood cholesterol and heart health.
LAC Activated® Red Yeast Rice can therefore help to manage your blood cholesterol levels, improve your blood circulation and provide the best for your cardiovascular health.
