Red Yeast Rice For Control Of Cholesterol

Article Category: Wellness, Fitness and Diet

Author Name: James Tien


The problem of high cholesterol has received a lot of attention. There are a number of prescription drugs on the market that are designed to address this problem. Red yeast rice is a Chinese folk medicine that may also be useful for lowering cholesterol.

The human body needs cholesterol. It is in cell membranes and is used for other things as well. It causes problems when there is too much of it in the blood. Excessive amounts of low density lipoproteins (LDL), which are a form of cholesterol, can cause atherosclerosis. This blood vessel disease is a major cause of heart disease and strokes.

The statin family of prescription drugs is one of the main tools for controlling total cholesterol and LDL levels. This family includes Lipitor and a number of other widely used drugs. They work by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase. This causes the liver to produce less cholesterol. Research has found that red yeast rice contains monacolin K, which is the same chemical as lovastatin.

Red yeast rice is a widely used coloring ingredient in Chinese cooking. The reddish purple color comes from the mold that it is fermented with, monascus purpureus. It also plays a significant role in traditional forms of Chinese herbology and medicine.

Its effectiveness has been tested in a number of clinical trials, one of which involved thousands of subjects. When given to patients who had already had a heart attack, it caused significant decreases in mortality compared to a placebo. Some studies have shown better results than are obtained with prescription drugs.

It is hard to evaluate its safety because of a lack of testing. Prescription statin drugs are known to have several serious side effects. Since the amount of statin equivalent contents are variable, there is no reasonable basis for determining the likelihood of them occurring with the over the counter substance.

Sellers of red yeast rice must walk a fine line to protect themselves from FDA action, since the product has not had sufficient formal testing. They need to avoid any health claims in their advertising and product packaging. They generally avoid mentioning the presence of monacolin K. Of course, many consumers are aware of its possible healthy effects, based on other information they have encountered.

Most doctors agree that LDL levels should be controlled. Red yeast rice is one way of doing this. Unfortunately, the effectiveness and safety of this treatment are not well established. Anyone with concerns about high LDL should talk to their doctor before beginning any treatment.
