NOW Foods Red Yeast Rice, 600mg

NOW Foods Red Yeast Rice, 600mg is a vegetable capsule made with organic red yeast rice, the traditional ingredient created by fermenting white rice with the red yeast Monascus purpureus.

Key features

• 600 mg of red yeast rice per serving
• Made with organic red yeast rice
• Carefully produced to avoid citrinin
• Supplied in vegetable capsules (vcaps)

Asian herbalists have used red yeast rice since roughly 800 A.D., and it is still widely used in kitchens to add colour and flavour, most famously in Peking duck. Citrinin is an unwanted compound that can form during fermentation, so production is controlled to keep it out of the finished product. As a natural ingredient, the shade of the capsule contents may vary slightly between batches. This version is a good alternative for anyone who prefers capsules to tablets.

Available in 60 vcaps and 120 vcaps.

Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
