It can be traced back to the"Shen Nong's Herbal Classic"in the Eastern Han Dynasty. In the 1970s, Japanese scholar Akira Endo isolated Monacolink, a natural lovastatin, from red yeast rice.
Later research showed that red yeast rice also contains other blood lipid-lowering ingredients, which makes it only contain 10mg Monacolink's red yeast rice powder has the same blood lipid-lowering effect as 20mgof lovastatin. At the same time, the components in the red yeast rice act synergistically, resulting in very low side effects and no tolerance.
