Description:
Red Yeast Rice was used as a Chinese medicine to strengthen spleen, promote digestion, eliminate dampness and phlegm, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Modern clinical research shows that red kojic contains several physiological active matters, such as Lovastatin, which can adjust abnormal blood lipid levels, lower serum total cholesterol, serum triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and increase high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. As a kind of natural food additives, red kojic is widely used in food, pastry, wine, drink, cosmetic, and so on. A kind of medicine which contains red kojic is used in hospitals now.

Functions:
Lowering blood pressure and total cholesterol and triglycerides;
Improving blood circulation and benefiting stomach;
Antioxidant, preventing coronary heart disease and atherosclerosis;
Reducing the occurring of Alzheimer's disease.
The benefits of Red Yeast Rice are attributed to the presence of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, enzymes in the liver that control the amount of cholesterol produced in the liver. It has been hypothesized that relatively high concentrations of unsaturated fatty acids and other natural compounds found in Red Yeast Rice may work in concert with HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors to provide additional health benefit.
