Red yeast rice is a significant component of Asian cuisine and has been consumed in large quantities for centuries. It is produced by fermenting rice with the yeast Monascus purpureus, which gives the rice a dark red colour. During the fermentation process, the characteristic active substances are formed, the most important of which is monacolin K. A daily intake of 10 mg of monacolin K from red yeast rice contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels.

Quality
The base is organically grown rice, free from pesticides and other contaminants, and not genetically modified. This dietary supplement is also checked for the absence of citrinin, an undesirable by-product that can occur during the fermentation process. There is a significant variation in quality in the market. The dosage and standardisation of the active substances in different red yeast rice products can vary greatly. Additionally, the level of contaminants, such as citrinin, can be a concern. Therefore, it is important to choose a product with consistently high quality. Red Yeast Rice Organic contains a high natural content of monacolin K, allowing for a dosage of just one capsule per day.

Organic
The active ingredients of organic dietary supplements are guaranteed to be of natural origin and not synthetically manufactured. The production process takes into account the environment, animals, and people as much as possible. Various regulations define what this entails. No chemical pesticides, artificial fertilisers, or genetically modified organisms are used. The Skal Biocontrole institute checks whether the regulations are followed and whether a product can be labelled organic. Organic products are identifiable by the code NL-BIO-01 and the European organic label.
