An extract of red yeast rice has been fermented with the yeast Monascus purpureus, which generates compounds clinically proven to inhibit cholesterol production in the liver.Unlike many other red yeast rice supplements on the market, AOR's Red Yeast Rice with Ankascin 568-R undergoes a proprietary extraction process that removes citrinin, a toxic byproduct of fermentation. Most red yeast rice products on the market also contain monacolin K, a compound that is associated with similar side effects to statins. These side effects can include myopathy, muscle pain and weakness, and rhabdomyolysis, a condition in which muscle fibers break down, releasing harmful substances that can affect the liver and kidneys into the blood. Improve your heart health with AOR Red Yeast Rice. AOR Red Yeast Rice is the world's first red yeast rice supplement that does not contain monacolin K or citrinin. In addition, AOR has standardized the content of monascin and ankaflavin, biologically active pigments that have been studied for their cholesterol-lowering activity.
