Red yeast rice has HMG-CoA (menvinolin) reductase inhibitors which effectively block the enzyme responsible for making cholesterol in the body. When this synthesis is stymied, the body simply produces less LDL (bad) cholesterol, measurably reducing its presence in the blood.
In addition, red yeast raises HDL, (good) cholesterol to more desired levels. Increases in HDL levels boost cardiovasculr health since HDL cholesterol helps eliminate LDL cholesterol from the bloodstream. The less LDL that’s present, the less chance you have of developing the blockages that cause heart disease. on the other hand, when LDL increases, your chances of heart attack can also increase. Oxidized LDL is believed to build up as plaque on vessel walls, clogging arteries and cutting off the blood supply to various parts of the body.
Red Yeast Research
Hard data backs up these cholesterol claims, showing very substantial reductions in blood cholesterol. For many people, this translates directly into significantly reduced risk of heart attack.
A rigorous trial at the UCLA School of Medicine showed that red yeast rice extract reduced cholesterol levels by an average of 40 points over 12 weeks when combined with a low-fat diet. More than 80 men and women took part in this double-blind and placebo-controlled study (FASEB J 12 [4], 1998: A206).
A similar study in China showed even greater reductions of blood cholesterol: an average of nearly 26% among people taking the supplement for about two months (American Heart Association’s 39th Annual Conference on Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology and Prevention, March 1999).
Both studies also concluded that triglycerides (another key bloodstream fat that can endanger cardiovascular wellness) are measurably reduced due to the impact of continuing red yeast rice extract supplementation.
