Red Yeast Rice is a natural product that's been used in Asian traditional herbal systems for centuries.  It is produced by the fermentation of red yeast (Monascus purpureus) with white rice.  The Red Yeast Rice in NOW Red Omega is carefully produced to avoid the presence of citrinin, a sometimes toxic by-product of the fermentation process.  This product is further enhanced with the addition of CoQ10 and Omega-3 rich Fish Oil to support healthy cardiovascular function.

Red yeast rice has been shown to have the benefits of cholesterol lowering abilities, as it contains lovastatin.  This compound is a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor which inhibits cholesterol synthesis in the body.  Red Yeast Rice contains other cholesterol lowering compounds.

Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) is the type of fat that the brain is largely composed of, and thus, DHA is brain nutrition. It's to our brains as calcium is to our bones, and in fact, optimal infant brain and eye development and function depends on it.
