Thorne - Red Yeast Rice (formerly Choleast-900) 120 caps

Red yeast rice to help maintain healthy cholesterol levels and support cardiovascular health*

Red Yeast Rice provides naturally occurring monacolins, phytosterols, and isoflavones for maintenance of healthy lipid levels.* Red yeast rice also promotes healthy lipid particle size and number.*

Maintaining an optimal LDL cholesterol level is an important component of maintaining good cardiovascular health.* Numerous studies in China and the United States have concluded that preparations of red yeast rice help to maintain blood cholesterol levels already in the normal range.*

Red Yeast Rice contains Monascus purpureus, a red-pigmented yeast grown on rice.

It also contains consistent amounts of the naturally-occurring monacolins found in red yeast rice– without standardization or fortification – along with the phytosterols beta-sitosterol, campesterol, and stigmasterol, as well as isoflavones and trace minerals, all of which can contribute to good cardiovascular health.* 

With 50-percent more red yeast rice than our Choleast product, Red Yeast Rice requires fewer capsules for easier supplementation.
