How Does NSI® Vegetarian Red Yeast Rice work?
Red yeast rice is the by-product formed when cooked, non-glutinous (less likely to have the grains stick together) rice is covered by a growth of red yeast (Monascus purpureus), and then undergoes the process of fermentation.
Red yeast rice contains fiber, rice starch and fatty acids, as well as monacolin and mevinolin, which may provide natural benefits for cholesterol health. The majority of the body's cholesterol is produced in the liver, and elements in red yeast rice may effectively restrict its production. ¹²³4
Please Note: Red Yeast Rice may lower CoQ10 levels (similar to statin cholesterol- lowering drugs) It is recommended that you consume at least 100 mg per day of CoQ10 supplementation when taking red yeast rice. Consider adding our own NSI® CoQ10 supplement to your everyday regimen.
NSI® Vegetarian Red Yeast Rice is better because it:
Contains no animal ingredients, so it's suitable for vegetarians.
Helps support healthy cholesterol levels.
