Product Information

Red yeast rice (RYR), is produced by the fermentation of red rice with the yeast Monascus purpureus (‘Went’strain). This fermentation process results in the formation of bright red pigment, giving the characteristic red colour to the rice [2], [10]. Traditionally, Red Yeast Rice has been used to enhance the colour and flavour of foods for centuries in China, but it has also been used as a traditional medicine for digestive and vascular health. In Western countries, Red Yeast Rice is used as a food supplement recognized for its cholesterol-lowering properties, owing to the presence of Monacolin K the active compound present in RYR, an inhibitor of endogenous cholesterol synthesis [1].

Unived’s RYR is a natural product, standardized to 0.4% Monacolin K, the international standard for safe, cholesterol-lowering Red Yeast Rice. Unived’s RYR is vegan and encapsulated in 100% vegetarian capsules made from plant-derived cellulose.

Unived’s Red Yeast Rice is ideal for adults who want to manage optimal and healthy lipid or cholesterol profiles and who want to reduce developing cardiovascular risks due to hyperlipidemia. RYR has no known side effects.¬

In his book “Eat to Live”, Joel Fuhrman MD, says about cardiovascular diseases, “Every heart attack death is even more of a tragedy because it likely could have been prevented.”

Many factors contribute to high cholesterol levels, such as an unhealthy diet, lack of physical activity, stress, smoking, predisposition to cholesterol, and family history. High cholesterol or Hypercholesterolemia (also referred to as hyperlipidemia), and hypertriglyceridemia (high triglyceride levels) is a leading risk factors for cardiovascular diseases and symptoms seldom manifest until the serum lipid levels are severely elevated and cross the range at which cardiovascular morbidity and mortality are increased [4].

Epidemiologic studies predict that for each 1% reduction in the level of LDL cholesterol there is a 1% to 1.5% reduction in the risk of major cardiovascular events [4].

Young adults and working professionals

Hyperlipidemia is affecting millions of young people, the world over. Hypercholesterolemia is one of the major risk factors for atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease [5]. They encounter co-morbidities due to abnormal lipid levels in their blood. One of the major factors for hypertriglyceridemia in our Indian population could be a diet replete with carbohydrates and saturated fats [7]. The lipid and lipoprotein profiles in the urban Indian population reveal a high instance of hypercholesterolemia and abnormally high LDL-C and low HDL-C levels. Also, smoking has a negative impact due to its HDL (good) cholesterol-lowering effects, putting you at risk of heart disease [8]. A recent survey involving men and women within the age group 25-45, revealed that as many as 25% of them suffered from high or abnormal levels of cholesterol and triglycerides [6].

Vegans

Since vegans follow a plant-only nutritious diet, the dietary factors relating to the occurrence of high cholesterol are reduced to a minimum. However, several other factors such as familial hypercholesteremia, stress, lack of physical exercise, and excessive consumption of fatty foods also lead to hypercholesteremia. Therefore, it is vital to keep cholesterol levels in check, no matter how healthy is the diet.

Cholesterol-lowering drugs and their side-effects

Often, cholesterol-lowering drugs (statins) are prescribed to treat or prevent cardiovascular diseases in patients with hyperlipidemia. However, these drugs come with host-of side effects such as memory loss, muscle damage, and CoQ10 depletion [9]. One of the best alternatives to cholesterol-lowering drugs is Red Yeast Rice. Unived’s Red Yeast Rice reduces LDL cholesterol and triglyceride count and increases HDL cholesterol, thus improving overall lipid profile without any side effects and that is safe for long-term consumption.

Unived’s RYR is a natural product, standardized to 0.4% Monacolin K,

Mode of Action:

Nutraceutical Red Yeast Rice is created from red rice with Monascus purpureus. The fermentation of yeast and rice produces a complex of substances called Monacolins that have recognized lipid-lowering qualities. The concentration of Monacolin in the most commonly used RYR nutraceuticals usually reaches up to 1.9%. Several types of Monacolin have been identified based on the strain of yeast used and the fermentation conditions. One of these subtypes is Monacolin K, which was first isolated by Professor Akira Endo and was found to be structurally identical to lovastatin (a synthetic cholesterol-lowering drug).

Its primary mechanism of action is to inhibit 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase, the rate-controlling enzyme of the cholesterol synthesis pathway [2].

Red Yeast Rice extract

I have been using this product for the last 10 years and never had to go back to statins to lower my cholesterol and without the side effects of aches and pains. My cholesterol has been maintained at or below the 200 mark.
