These studies suggest taking a low daily dose of red yeast rice containing 10 mg of monacolins.
Red Yeast Rice (RYR) is a traditional Chinese medicinal product known for its cholesterol-lowering properties, primarily due to the presence of monacolin K, a compound similar to the statin drug lovastatin. Recent studies have investigated the optimal daily dosage of RYR to achieve beneficial effects on lipid profiles and cardiovascular health while minimizing potential side effects.
Low Dose Efficacy:
Moderate Dose Benefits:
The research suggests that a daily intake of Red Yeast Rice can effectively lower cholesterol levels and improve cardiovascular health. A low dose of 200 mg/day containing 2 mg of monacolin K is effective for mild dyslipidemia, while a higher dose of 10 mg of monacolins per day is beneficial for moderately hypercholesterolemic individuals. Both dosages have shown significant health benefits without severe adverse effects.
