RYR

Product Information

Red yeast rice (RYR), is produced by the fermentation of red rice with the yeast Monascus purpureus (‘Went’strain). This fermentation process results in the formation of bright red pigment, giving the characteristic red colour to the rice [2], [10]. Traditionally, Red Yeast Rice has been used to enhance the colour and flavour of foods for centuries in China, but it has also been used as a traditional medicine for digestive and vascular health. In Western countries, Red Yeast Rice is used as a food supplement recognized for its cholesterol-lowering properties, owing to the presence of Monacolin K the active compound present in RYR, an inhibitor of endogenous cholesterol synthesis [1].

Unived’s RYR is a natural product, standardized to 0.4% Monacolin K, the international standard for safe, cholesterol-lowering Red Yeast Rice. Unived’s RYR is vegan and encapsulated in 100% vegetarian capsules made from plant-derived cellulose.

Unived’s Red Yeast Rice is ideal for adults who want to manage optimal and healthy lipid or cholesterol profiles and who want to reduce developing cardiovascular risks due to hyperlipidemia. RYR has no known side effects.¬
