It is a substance extracted from rice after it has been fermented with yeast (red) called Monascus purpureus.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Red Rice yeast naturally contains several ingredients that control LDL (\u201cbad\u201d) cholesterol levels and lipids in the blood: it has been shown that taking 2.4 grams of yeast Red rice reduces LDL cholesterol by 22% and total cholesterol by 16% in 12 weeks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Why? Because it contains more than 10 monacolins which have a chemical structure identical to that of statins, substances with powerful hypocholesterolemic action. The main monacolin of the yeast Red Rice is monacolin K. This is the natural equivalent of lovastatin, a classic synthetic drug prescribed in cases of hypercholesterolemia. According to a 2008 study, results obtained with a supplement providing 10 mg monacolin K (natural), are comparable to those obtained with 20 mg to 40 mg Lovastatin. <span style=\"font-size: 12px;\" data-fusion-font=\"true\">[2]<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was also noted that the effectiveness of Red Rice yeast on LDL cholesterol reduction is enhanced by its content of sterols, isoflavones and monounsaturated fatty acids or \u201chealthy fats\u201d.According to tests conducted in China, the yeast of Red Rice also seems to have positive effects on other factors of cardiovascular disease.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Caution: To be effective on cholesterol, the monacolin K content in yeast Red Rice should be about 10 mg.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #113082;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"color: #113082;\"><b>Phytosterols, to repress the concentration of cholesterol<br \/>\n<\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-family: var(--body_typography-font-family); font-size: var(--body_typography-font-size); font-style: var(--body_typography-font-style,normal); font-weight: var(--body_typography-font-weight); letter-spacing: var(--body_typography-letter-spacing); color: var(--body_typography-color); text-align: justify;\">Phytosterols are plant lipids that have a chemical structure very similar to that of cholesterol and partially hinder its attachment by occupying its absorption sites in the intestine.
