Red Yeast Rice is the fermented product obtained when certain strains of yeast grow on rice. It is beneficial to those with cholesterol problems because it contains a compound (HMG_COA reductase inhibitor) that inhibits the production of cholesterol in the liver. The statin drug lovastatin (Mevacor) contains the same material.

This supplement has shown to improve the ratio of HDL to LDL and to lower triglycerides. It was also found that in certain respects Red Yeast Rice was superior to the drug lovastatin. It is important to note that unlike prescription drugs, Red Yeast Rice has shown no serious adverse side effects in clinical trials. Like statin drugs, Red Yeast Rice does deplete the body of CoQ10, which is very useful in various types of cardiovascular disease. Supplemental CoQ10 (100-300mg) should be taken along with Red Yeast Rice or statin drugs.
