Ingredients explained
Red Yeast Rice Extract (Monascus purpureus)
Naturally contains monacolin compounds that may inhibit HMG-CoA reductase, supporting balanced cholesterol production in the liver.
Caution: Avoid use during pregnancy or breastfeeding and consult a healthcare professional if using statins or with liver concerns because monacolin-like activity may add to statin effects and affect liver enzymes.
Calcium (from Calcium Carbonate)
Provides elemental calcium that contributes to bone mineral structure and supports normal muscle and nerve function.
Caution: Take apart from certain minerals or high-fiber binders if absorption is a concern, as they may reduce calcium uptake.
How they work together
Red yeast rice extract supplies monacolin-like compounds that influence cholesterol synthesis, while calcium supports daily mineral intake and bone health without overlapping pathways.

Red yeast rice has been used by Asian traditional herbalists since approximately 800 A.D. Produced by fermenting red yeast (Monascus purpureus) with white rice, red yeast rice is commonly used in cooking applications to enhance the color and flavor of foods. Peking duck is an example of the coloration and flavor imparted by red yeast rice. NOW® Red Yeast Rice is carefully produced to avoid the presence of citrinin, an unwanted by-product of the fermentation process.
