Active Ingredients

Chitosan - Chitosan, an all-natural fiber extract from exoskeletons of squids called Chitin, is a natural magnetic binding affinity for fat and cholesterol in the digestive tract. The binding of these fat and cholesterol molecules to chitosan fiber prevents them from being absorbed into the bloodstream. Chitosan can absorb fat and bile by 7-8 times its weight in the digestive tract. The fat and cholesterol are then excreted through the bowel, thereby improving bowel functions.

Monascus purpureus - Taking red yeast rice can help reduce and maintain healthy cholesterol levels and promote blood circulation, thereby lowering the risk of heart disease.
It is made by fermenting a type of yeast called Monascus purpureus over red rice. Monascus purpureus, also known as Hong Qu in China, contains small amounts of Monacolin K (also known as mevinolin) which acts as lovastatin. It is identical to its function of decreasing blood cholesterol and promoting blood circulation. Laboratory studies have shown that the Monascus purpureus inhibits the action of a body enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase, known to raise cholesterol which, in turn, increases the risk of heart disease. Because of this inhibitory action, red yeast rice's therapeutic uses include the prevention and treatment of high cholesterol.

This is a traditional medicine.
