What is Red Yeast Rice Extract Powder?

Red yeast rice extract powder is produced by solid-state fermentation of Monascus mold using grains and water. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis shows that Monacolin K (or Mevinolin) in natural red yeast rice mainly exists in the acid form (Monacolin K or Mevinolinic acid), with a content range of 60-85%, rather than in the lactone form. This confirms the fermentation origin of the product. In addition, the product is citrus-free and contains ergosterol, unsaturated fatty acids, amino acids, γ-GABA, and active peptides, which enhance its functional properties and nutritional value.

In addition to its culinary uses, red yeast rice has a long history in traditional Chinese herbal medicine and medicine, dating back to the Tang Dynasty in 800 AD. It is scientifically believed to have cholesterol-lowering effects.
