Red Yeast Rice is fermented by Monascus purpurogenum. As a traditional fermented product, it was used in ancient times to brew rice wine, food colorant and flavor enhancer. It is a good product for both medicine and food.
The reason why red yeast rice extract has medical value is that these active ingredients include monascin, ankaflavin, Monacolin K, dimerumic acid, and GABA.
