Red Yeast Rice Extract Powder

Red Yeast Rice Extract Powder Supplier/Manufacturer/Factory

Red yeast rice extract powder is derived from red yeast rice. This raw material is produced by fermenting rice with Monascus species and is classified as medicine-food homologous. Its core active substance is natural Monacolin K sharing the identical molecular formula with chemically synthesized lovastatin. So it provides the key benefits of naturally regulating lipid metabolism and supporting cardiovascular health. Currently, it is widely applied in mainstream market sectors, including cardiovascular health dietary supplements, functional foods, and health management products for the middle-aged and elderly.

Healthkintai^® is specialized in manufacturing and supplying plant extract. Our red yeast rice extract powder is made from high-purity, miscellaneous bacteria-free red yeast rice, which is produced through a standardized fermentation process using premium rice from Yunnan as the base material.

We mainly provide you with 1%-5% Monacolin K Red yeast rice extract powder and other specifications are also available. If you are interested, please feel free to contact us at health@kintaibio.com.

Red Yeast Rice Extract Monacolin K and Lovastatin

Although Monacolin K and Lovastatin have the same molecular formula, the core differences between Monacolin K and Lovastatin are reflected in two aspects:

• In terms of origin, the former is a naturally fermented product, while the latter is a chemically synthesized one.
• In terms of existing form, the former mostly exists as an acidic open-loop structure in natural red yeast rice extract, whereas the latter, in its chemically synthesized form, is predominantly a lactone closed-loop structure.

Note:The closed-loop form requires in vivo conversion to the open-loop structure to exert its biological activity, while the open-loop form has higher bioavailability.

Red Yeast Rice Extract Benefits for Cholesterol

Inhibits the de novo synthesis of endogenous cholesterol in the liver

Natural Monacolin K, the core active component in the extract, can specifically target HMG-CoA reductase — the key rate-limiting enzyme in hepatic cholesterol synthesis. It blocks the endogenous cholesterol synthesis pathway at the source by competitively binding to the enzyme’s active site, thereby reducing the total amount of cholesterol synthesized by the liver itself.

Accelerates the clearance of Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C, “bad cholesterol”) in the blood

Natural Monacolin K can significantly enhance the expression and activity of LDL receptors in the liver. This strengthens the liver’s ability to uptake LDL-C from the bloodstream, accelerates its metabolism and clearance in the liver, effectively lowers the serum concentration of bad cholesterol, and reduces the risk of its deposition on the vascular endothelium.

Reduces the intestinal absorption of exogenous cholesterol

Phytosterols and other auxiliary active components naturally present in the extract can compete with exogenous cholesterol from food for absorption sites in the intestine. With a stronger binding affinity to intestinal mucosa than cholesterol, phytosterols reduce the body’s absorption efficiency of dietary cholesterol, further helping to lower serum total cholesterol levels.

Red Yeast Rice Extract Used in Dietary Supplements (Core Application)

• Blood Lipid Management Health Products: With Monacolin K from red yeast rice extract as the core raw material, they are formulated into dosage forms such as capsules, tablets, and softgels, which are used for the auxiliary regulation of cholesterol levels.

  

• Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Health Compound Products: Compounded with ingredients such as Omega-3 and Coenzyme Q10, they are developed into functional foods with cardioprotective effects and microcirculation-improving benefits.

Red Yeast Rice Extract Dosage and Side Effects

 The dosage of red yeast rice extract depends primarily on the content of its core active ingredient, Monacolin K.

Daily health maintenance dosage

The total daily intake of Monacolin K is 2–5 mg, which is suitable for the preventive health maintenance of individuals with normal blood lipid levels.

Side effects

The side effects of red yeast rice extract are mostly associated with excessive dosage, individual differences, or concurrent use with other drugs. The overall incidence rate is low, and most are mild reactions.

Common mild side effects:

Gastrointestinal reactions: Nausea, abdominal distension, diarrhea, constipation, stomach discomfort, etc. These symptoms mostly occur during initial use or with excessive dosage, and usually resolve spontaneously after continuous administration for 1–2 weeks.
