Application: Red Yeast Rice Extract is a natural functional ingredient produced by fermenting rice with Monascus purpureus yeast, with its core active substance being Monacolin K, which is structurally similar to lovastatin. This component competitively inhibits HMG-CoA reductase, the key rate-limiting enzyme in endogenous cholesterol synthesis, thereby effectively reducing total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol levels. Additionally, Red Yeast Rice Extract contains synergistic components such as plant sterols and unsaturated fatty acids that collectively support blood lipid metabolism and cardiovascular system health. It is primarily used in health products for regulating blood lipids, maintaining vascular elasticity, and supporting overall cardiovascular function.
