Do you know why it’s better to take red yeast rice in the evening before bed? And its benefits for heart health?
Red yeast rice has the effect of lowering cholesterol levels. Since cholesterol production takes place in the liver mainly at night, it’s best to take red yeast rice before going to bed in order to obtain maximum benefit.
Several studies have shown that monacolin K derived from red yeast rice has similar pharmacological effects to those of the most commonly-prescribed lipid-lowering drugs (1). It increases levels of HDL (‘good’ cholesterol), and lowers those of LDL (‘bad’ cholesterol), total cholesterol, and triglycerides.
Cholesterol is produced in the liver at night, at a time when the body has stopped receiving food (2). Lipid-lowering treatments act by inhibiting the early stages of cholesterol production, preventing its release into the bloodstream. Red yeast rice and its active principles act in the same way, so it’s best to take it in the evening before going to bed.
It’s a natural alternative that should be taken under medical supervision, just like any supplement used for therapeutic purposes (3).

Great selection and fast shipping. My only issue is that many of their supplements have soy, so make sure to check the list of ingredients.

At this time I can not comment on any medical value of my purchase. I have no medical issues I'm treating so I will have to wait until my next blood test some months away to see just what benefit this product has given me.
