Red fermented rice
red yeast rice", or red fermented rice, is a product obtained by fermentation of rice with a yeast called Monascus purpureus. It is widely used in Asian cuisine, especially in China and Japan, for its distinctive red colour and slightly sour taste. In addition to its culinary use, red fermented rice is also known for its medicinal properties.
The benefits of red fermented rice
Red fermented rice, or red yeast rice, is especially known for its benefits on cardiovascular health, including its ability to reduce LDL cholesterol levels (bad cholesterol). Here is a list of its main benefits and scientific evidence that support them:
-
LDL cholesterol reduction :
- The active component of red fermented rice, the monacoline K, is chemically identical to lovastatin, a hypocholesterolemiant medication. Studies have shown that Monacoline K can significantly reduce LDL cholesterol levels.
- Scientific evidence : A meta-analysis published in the "American Journal of Cardiology" revealed that red fermented rice supplements reduce total cholesterol and LDL levels in people with hypercholesterolemia.
-
Prevention of heart disease :
- By reducing LDL cholesterol, red fermented rice also contributes to reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
- Scientific evidence : A study published in the "Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology and Therapeutics" showed that red fermented rice consumption can reduce the risk of recurrence of cardiovascular events in patients who have already suffered a myocardial infarction.
-
Anti-inflammatory effects :
- Red fermented rice also contains anti-inflammatory compounds that can help reduce inflammation in the body, a risk factor for many chronic diseases.
- Scientific evidence : A research published in "Annals of Medicine" explored the anti-inflammatory effects of red fermented rice, suggesting that it can help reduce inflammation markers.
-
Improved endothelial function :
- Endothelial function is crucial to vascular health, and red fermented rice can help improve this function, thus promoting better blood circulation.
- Scientific evidence : Studies, such as those published in "Nutrition Research", indicated that red fermented rice can improve endothelial function in patients with high levels of cholesterol.

Precautions
It is important to note that, although beneficial, red fermented rice should be used with caution due to its similarities with statins, which can cause side effects such as muscle pain and possible liver toxicity.

A professional can advise you on the appropriate duration of taking according to your general health and your specific needs.
