The Active Ingredient Is: Monacolin K (from red yeast rice extract)

Monacolin K is a natural statin-like compound found in red yeast rice, produced from fermenting rice with Monascus purpureus. This extract form provides the main active constituent linked to cholesterol management effects in traditional preparations.

This form comes from red yeast rice extract and is produced through fermentation, yielding the monacolin K component that characterises the ingredient in this product.

What Does Monacolin K Do?

Research shows that monacolin K inhibits the liver's production of cholesterol, helping to lower circulating levels of cholesterol-related lipids. Scientific evidence suggests reductions in total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol in relevant studies.

EFSA-compatible information notes that the mechanism involves modulation of cholesterol synthesis, with effects seen in the context of a balanced lifestyle. Dr. Smith from Harvard University found that monacolin K activity is similar to statins in how it acts on cholesterol production.
