RED YEAST RICE   

Red yeast rice is a traditional food consumed throughout Asia. Its food value and medicinal value is believed to date back more than a thousand years, with the first documentation of its use recorded in 800 A.D. The fungus Monascus isolated from red yeast rice first became known in Western society through the work of Dutch scientists, who noted its use by local populations in Java in 1884. A species isolated from red Koji or Honqu (as red rice yeast is known in East Asia) was named Monascus Purpureus Went in 1895, in recognition of the purple coloration. Today there are more than 30 Monascus strains on deposit with the American Type Culture Collection.

The traditional method of making red yeast rice is to ferment the yeast naturally on a bed of cooked non-glutinous whole rice kernels, and this method has been industrialized for production in the United States. This supplement contains only the rice and the Monascus fungus and the yeast in a pure powdered form. There are a number of constituents in the natural product including pigments, fatty acids, and polyketides (monacolins). These monacolins are believed to account for the majority of the cholesterol-lowering activity of the yeast.
