Red Yeast Rice is developed by fermenting the organism, Monascus purpureus (red yeast), on commercially grown rice. The rice and yeast are then ground up into a red powder. The fermented product contains at least nine naturally occurring compounds called monacolins. This formula is citrinin-free.

CAUTION: Red yeast rice extract is considered to be safe when taken as directed. Practitioners should consult a reliable professional reference for detailed information before recommending this formula. RYRE should not be prescribed to patients who are allergic to yeast or rice, or to patients who are taking drugs that inhibit HMG-CoA reductase. Women who are pregnant, trying to conceive, or breast feeding, as well as individuals with liver disease or organ transplants should also avoid RYRE. There is insufficient evidence to recommend this formula for children under 18 years of age. Take caution with drugs that affect GABA. The potential for other drugs interactions also exists. Herbs that inhibit cytochrome p450 may increase the chance of muscle or kidney damage in taken with RYRE.

STORAGE: Keep tightly closed in a cool, dry place. Keep away from direct sunlight.
