Product Overview

Red Yeast Rice is a unique natural product native to China that's been used in Asia since approximately 800 A.D. Produced by fermenting red yeast (Monascus purpureus) with white rice, Red Yeast Rice is commonly used in cooking applications to enhance the color and flavor of foods. Peking Duck is an example of the coloration and flavor imparted by Red Yeast Rice. NOW ® Red Yeast Rice Extract is carefully produced to avoid the presence of citrinin, a by-product of the fermentation process.

I have been taking it for 4 months and experienced no adverse reactions. I am taking it to help reduce Cholesterol levels and just had a new blood screening. Took this in combination with Flax Seed Oil and COQ10 Supplements. Dropped both my Cholesterol and LDL 20 points.

The NOW Red Yeast Rice made me sick every time I took it. I would get diarrhea and vomit with in 3 or 4 hours of taking it.

My cholesterol is slightly elevated and the doctors keep wanting me to take statin drugs, which have always given me very sore leg muscles, especially in my calfs. I finally persuaded one to let me try NOW Red Yeast Rice and Now Policosanol 10 mg. The combination took my cholesterol down to the normal range in only three months with LDLs low and HDLs high, just as my doctor wanted. No problems with my muscles either.
