| Core Tip |
Red yeast rice (RYR) has cholesterol-lowering properties due to its active ingredient, monacolin K (MK), which mainly inhibits 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase. It is an excellent option for patients with mild to moderate dyslipidemia and low atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk factors who otherwise would not qualify for statin therapy. RYR can also serve as a valuable alternative in patients with statin intolerance or patients who otherwise are against medical treatment. Although effective, it is noteworthy to mention that the quantity of MK in commercial RYR products varies by brand. This article narratively reviews some existing data on RYR in the treatment of mild to moderate dyslipidemia. |
