Red Yeast Rice is not a new treatment. In fact, it is an ancient Chinese Medical remedy that we still use and recommend today.
Red Yeast Rice is really yeast made from red rice. In addition to being used for heart health, it is also used as food dye and additive to certain foods.

Red Yeast Rice has been clinically proven to lower the bad cholesterol or LDL-cholesterol by up to 26% in just 12 weeks by taking 600mg twice daily. It also helps lower overall cholesterol, level out triglycerides, and lower blood pressure.
