Protocol for Life Balance Red Yeast Rice Extract is a natural product that has been used by Asian traditional herbalists 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. The monacolin compounds in red yeast rice extract can help lower LDL cholesterol levels, often referred to as “bad” cholesterol. This effect is similar to that of statin drugs.

Description
Protocol for Life Balance Red Yeast Rice Extract delivers a natural, time-tested way to support heart health. Since around 800 A.D., Asian herbalists have relied on this powerful extract, made by fermenting Red Yeast (Monascus purpureus) with white rice. While it’s still used in cooking to enhance flavor and color, Red Yeast Rice has also earned a strong reputation for its cardiovascular benefits.
Why Choose Red Yeast Rice?
Red Yeast Rice naturally contains monacolin compounds that actively support the reduction of LDL (“bad”) cholesterol levels. These cholesterol-lowering effects work in a way similar to statin medications, yet provide a plant-based, holistic alternative for managing cholesterol. As a result, Red Yeast Rice has become a trusted option for those seeking a natural approach to heart health.
