Red Yeast Rice Follow
A traditional Chinese culinary and medicinal product. Red yeast rice is used as an alternative to various drugs that help lower blood levels of cholesterol and related lipids and may have the same side effects as certain cholesterol-lowering drugs. Some red yeast rice products contain monacolin K, which is chemically identical to the active ingredient in the cholesterol-lowering drug lovastatin. Since the active ingredients are identical, consumers should use caution as there may be both interactions and unwanted, adverse side effects.
