Red Yeast Rice Extract 1200 mg - 60 Tabs (Veg)

Red Yeast Rice is a unique natural product native to China that’s been used in Asian traditional medical systems 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 Extract is carefully produced to avoid the presence of citrinin, a sometimes toxic by-product of the fermentation process. This product and all other NOW Foods Red Rice products are safe and available for purchase. NOW Foods Red Yeast Rice products are not affected by the recent warning that was placed on some competitive brands.
