Nutricost Red Yeast Rice
Red yeast rice (Monascus purpureus) at 1,200 mg in two vegetarian capsules a day
This is Nutricost's red yeast rice: 1,200 mg of red yeast rice powder (Monascus purpureus) in every 2-capsule serving, with 120 capsules in the bottle for 60 servings. The capsule is plant-based (hypromellose), and the only other ingredient is magnesium stearate. The label carries vegetarian and non-GMO seals, and Nutricost says it's gluten free.
Red yeast rice is made by fermenting rice with a fungus, usually Monascus purpureus, and it's sold as a food and as a supplement (NIH NCCIH). Nutricost's label lists the red yeast rice and nothing about monacolin K, a compound some red yeast rice contains, so the amount in this product isn't stated. Please read the caution below before you buy.

Supplement facts per serving (2 capsules)

|---|
Other ingredients: Hypromellose (cellulose) capsule, magnesium stearate (vegetable source)
The label doesn't list monacolin K. Vegetarian and non-GMO seals on the label, from a GMP-compliant facility.
How to use it
- Take 2 capsules a day with 8 to 12 oz of water.
- Store the bottle in a cool, dry place.
For healthy adults 18 and older. Check with a healthcare professional before use if you take medication or have a medical condition. The label asks you to talk to a healthcare professional first if you're pregnant or nursing, and NIH doesn't recommend red yeast rice during pregnancy or breastfeeding. The label doesn't state how much monacolin K this product contains. Monacolin K is the same compound as lovastatin, and FDA regards red yeast rice with added or concentrated monacolin K the same way it regards lovastatin, so those products can't be sold as dietary supplements. NIH also notes that red yeast rice with significant monacolin K can have the same side effects and interactions as statins, so talk to your healthcare professional before you start. Keep out of reach of children, and don't use it if the safety seal is broken or missing.
A good fit if you
- Have chosen red yeast rice with your healthcare professional
- Want a vegetarian capsule with 1,200 mg per serving
- Like a two-month supply in one bottle

Common questions
How much monacolin K is in it?
The label doesn't say. Nutricost lists 1,200 mg of red yeast rice per serving and no monacolin K amount, so we can't tell you how much, if any, is in it.
How do I take it?
Two capsules a day with 8 to 12 oz of water. The bottle has 120 capsules, a 60-day supply.
Can I take it with other supplements or medication?
Ask your healthcare professional first. The label asks anyone taking medication or with a medical condition to do that, and NIH notes red yeast rice can interact with some medicines the way statins do.
Is it vegetarian?
Yes. The capsule is hypromellose, a plant cellulose, and the label carries a vegetarian seal.
