Reformulated red yeast rice
All natural

Used for centuries in Asia as a food additive, red yeast rice is not something you'd find in the rice aisle at your local grocery store. However, you'll probably find it in an intriguing Asian culinary dish, or all by itself as a dietary supplement. Our Traditional Red Yeast Rice is red yeast cultured on an all-natural rice medium, Monascus purpureus.
