Bag with 1/2 pound of Red Yeast Rice Powder. Shipped to you by USPS First Class Mail. Red yeast rice is a traditional Chinese dietary staple that has been shown in clinical studies to effectively lower serum lipid levels (cholesterol levels). Also known as Monascus purpureus went rice, it is prepared by a raditional rice fermentation method. It's proven to contain compounds with HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor activity, which is responsible for the inhibition of cholesterol synthesis in the liver. In addition, red yeast rice also contains unsaturated fatty acids that may help reduce serum lipids. The formula has been used in China since the Ming Dynasty, 633 years ago.
