u  Gmo Free: We have our own Non-Gmo Rice production base to control.

◆Our company is the drafter of national standard of “functional red yeast rice’, so our product quality safe is absolutely reliable.

■ Main Function Ingredient and Action Mechanism

◆MonacolinK: The benefit of Red Yeast Rice is attributed to the presence of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, that control the amount of cholesterol produced in the liver. It has been hypothesized that relatively high concentrations of unsaturated fatty acids and other natural compounds found in Red Yeast Rice may work in concert with HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors to provide additional health benefit.

◆Ergosterol: prevent osteoporosis.

◆  γ －aminobutyric acid: reduce blood pressure.

◆  Natural Isoflavone: prevent menopause syndrome and osteoporosis.

■MonacolinK Structure and Characteristic

Lactone form of Monacolin-k, a pre-drug (Molecular structure as fig.1), has no activity, it need to be hydrolyzed by carboxyesterases, then is converted to active acid form (Molecular structure as fig.2), so can exert its lipid-reducing effect in body.

Molecular structure fig.1 　　　　　　  Molecular structure fig.2

The capability of producing carboxyesterases showed biggish individual difference, even some individuals are completely missing, so the effect of lowering blood-lipid of Lactone Form monacolin-k must be different for individuals. By now, Acid MonacolinK of our company functional red yeast rice is above 60% in total MonacolinK.
