Product information for Vitals Rode Gist Rijst Biologisch: Application of Vitals Rode Gist Rijst Biologisch: Red yeast rice (also called red yeast rice) is an important part of Asian cuisine. It has been consumed in large quantities there for centuries. Red yeast rice is produced by fermenting rice with the yeast Monascus purpureus, which gives the rice a dark red color. During the fermentation process, characteristic compounds are formed, the most important of which is monacolin K. Vitals Red Yeast Rice with 2.5 mg monacolin K is based on organically grown rice that has not been treated with pesticides and is free from genetic engineering.There's a significant difference in quality between red yeast rice supplements on the market. The monacolin K content in different red yeast rice products can vary from batch to batch. For this reason (and also because of the possible presence of citrinin, an undesirable byproduct that can form during the fermentation process), it's important to choose a supplement that guarantees high quality. Every batch of organic red yeast rice is analyzed by an independent laboratory, including for monacolin K and citrinin content.The active ingredients in organic food supplements are guaranteed to be of natural origin and not synthetically manufactured. Furthermore, the production process is as environmentally friendly as possible, with animal, and human health taken into account. Various regulations define what this means.
