Red Yeast Rice is the product of yeast (Monascus purpureus) grown on white rice. The powdered yeast-rice mixture is a dietary staple in Asia and has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries. As a botanical ingredient, some color variation is normal from batch to batch, which doesn’t affect the potency or quality.
Each serving of Weider Red Yeast Rice Plus supplies 1200mg of red yeast rice for a daily intake of 2400mg.
Phytosterols are a group of naturally occurring compounds also referred to as plant sterols and stanol esters. They serve as the structural components of plants. Because phytosterols are structurally similar to the body’s cholesterol, when they’re consumed they compete with cholesterol for absorption in the digestive system. In this way phytosterols can help to reduce the amount of cholesterol that is absorbed.*
Each serving of Weider Red Yeast Rice Plus supplies 850mg of plant phytosterols for a daily intake of 1700mg.
Microalgae (Haematococcus pluvialis) is a freshwater species of Chlorophyta, known for its high content of the strong antioxidant astaxanthin. Its included in the formula for its role as an antioxidant that helps to neutralize free radicals in the body, which can damage living cells.*
