Red yeast rice has been used as a natural remedy for good health for thousands of years where it provides antioxidants to support heart health. The yeast from Monascus purpureus is fermented with an extract from red yeast rice, which then creates compounds that were clinically shown inhibit the production of cholesterol in the liver.

AOR’s Red Yeast Rice (Ankascin 568-R) is patented to an extraction process that removes a toxin by-product of the fermentation process called citrinin. Other product of red yeast rice contains monacolin K. a compound where side effects are similar to statin drugs. Myopathy, muscle pain and weakness, and rhabdomyolysis are some of the side effects from statin drugs.
