Buy Red Yeast Rice – Fermented Natural Product With Monacolin K
Red yeast rice (also called red mould rice) is produced when cooked rice is fermented with the mould Monascus purpureus. This process forms, among other things, the characteristic compound Monacolin K as well as the red pigments the product is named after. Red yeast rice has been known in traditional East Asian cuisine and natural medicine for centuries. In this category you'll find supplements from Scheunengut – vegan, bottled in Germany and lab-tested.
Origin & Extraction
The starting material is ordinary rice, which is inoculated with a pure culture of Monascus purpureus and fermented. After drying, a red powder is produced, from which the standardised extract is obtained. The Monacolin K content depends on the raw material and the fermentation process.
Standardisation & Form
What matters is the declared Monacolin K content per capsule. Red yeast rice is mostly offered as capsules, sometimes combined with black garlic, bergamot or coenzyme Q10. Look for a transparent statement of extract and content.
