Red Yeast Rice - Red Rice Yeast
Red yeast rice is a red powder produced by the fermentation of a proprietary strain of Monascus purpureus Went yeast and Rice.
Health Benefits of Red Yeast Rice
Enzymes
Red yeast rice inhibits HMG-CoA reductase (primarily due to the monacolins content of red yeast rice). The principal active constituents of Red Yeast Rice are (0.4% of) a group of compounds named Monacolins (including Mevinolin, a compound that is chemically identical to Lovastatin, a HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitor).
Red Yeast Rice Interferes with these Substances
Red yeast rice interferes with the body's endogenous production of coenzyme Q10 (due to the mevinolin content of Red Yeast Rice inhibiting the HMG-CoA Reductase enzyme that is an essential catalyst for the endogenous production of coenzyme Q10): It is strongly recommended that persons using red yeast rice supplement with 100 mg of coenzyme Q10 per day in order to counteract the suppression of endogenous CoQ10 production caused by the mevinolin content of red yeast rice.
When Red Yeast Rice is consumed in conjunction with grapefruit juice, the blood concentration of the mevinolin content of red yeast rice is increased by up to 15-fold. Such increases are dangerous. research
Musculoskeletal System
Red yeast rice can cause rhabdomyolysis (due to the mevinolin content of red yeast rice inhibiting the endogenous synthesis of coenzyme Q10).
Sexual System
Red Yeast Rice should not be used by women during pregnancy or during the lactation period.
Vitamins
Red yeast rice should not be used in conjunction with high-dose nicotinic acid (greater than 1,000 mg of nicotinic acid per day) as this combination increases the risk of the mevinolin content of red yeast rice causing rhabdomyolysis.
Red Yeast Rice Research
Researchers have determined that one of the ingredients in red yeast rice, called monacolin K, inhibits the production of cholesterol by stopping the action of a key enzyme in the liver (e.g., HMG-CoA reductase) that is responsible for manufacturing cholesterol. The drug lovastatin (Mevacor? acts in a similar fashion to this red yeast rice ingredient. However, the amount per volume of monacolin K in red yeast rice is small (0.2% per 5 mg) when compared to the 20?0 mg of lovastatin available as a . This has prompted researchers to suggest that red yeast rice may have other ingredients, such as sterols, that might also contribute to lowering cholesterol.
Along with its evaluation in animal trials, red yeast rice has been clinically investigated as a therapy for reducing cholesterol in two human trials. In one trial, both men and women taking 1.2 grams (approximately 13.5 mg total monacolins) of a concentrated red yeast rice extract per day for two months had significant decreases in serum cholesterol levels. In addition, people taking red yeast rice had a significant increase in HDL ("good? cholesterol and a decrease in LDL ("bad? cholesterol. Elevated triglycerides were also found to be lowered.
Red Yeast Rice contains rice that has been naturally fermented with red yeast (Monascus purpureus) according to traditional methods. Produced domestically, this product is similar to red yeast rice that has been used in culinary applications in Asia since at least 800 A.D. Red Yeast Rice is considered beneficial for adult men and women when taken as part of a lifestyle program that includes regular exercise and a healthy diet.
Red yeast rice has been used in China for centuries as both a food and as a medicinal substance. It is made by fermenting a type of yeast called Monascus purpureus over red rice. In Chinese , red yeast rice is used to promote blood circulation, soothe upset stomach, and invigorate the function of the spleen, a body organ that destroys old blood cells and filters foreign substances. In addition, this dietary supplement has been used traditionally for bruised muscles, hangovers, indigestion, and colic in infants. Recently, it has been discovered that red yeast rice contains substances that are similar to medications that lower cholesterol. There is also growing interest in evaluating red yeast rice for use as a natural food dye and/or preservative.
Dosage Recommendations
The usual dosage of red yeast rice (capsules) for lowering elevated cholesterol levels is 600 - 2,400 mg per day (taken as one to four divided doses of 600 mg each). This equates to a dosage of 2.4 - 9.6 mg of mevinolin per day.
