Red yeast rice is made by fermenting a natural yeast, Monascus purpureus, on rice.

Monascus purpureus has been used for centuries by Eastern cultures as a food dye and flavoring.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine Monascus purpureus is used as a digestive aid and to revitalize blood circulation.

More recently, red yeast rice has been found to hold properties beneficial to maintaining healthy cholesterol levels.*
