Question 1

How much monakolin K does this product contain?

Accepted Answer

Hi Anne....according to the FDA it is illegal to claim Monacolin K content of Red Yeast Rice Supplements whether on a label or other marketing material. The FDA views this as a drug claim because it competes with statin drugs in the marketplace. We have tried arguing this issue in the past, and we were told either remove the claim or face heavy fines or even jail time. I do see at least one company that still claims ‘total monacolins’ on their labels. Not sure how they get away with it. Maybe good lawyers?  There are many nutrients within fermented Red Yeast Rice that provide benefits including plant sterols that also support cardiovascular health. I don’t recommend choosing a Red Yeast Rice product based on Monacolin K alone. There is much more to it than that. Something that should be of concern to all consumers of Red Yeast Rice...where does it come from and how is it manufactured? 
The overwhelming majority of Red Yeast Rice sold in the US comes from China which concerns many consumers including me. Additionally, I believe it’s important that the product is organic and completely free of GMOs and keeps jobs in the US. 
That is why I started manufacturing this product years ago because I take it myself daily and nothing else met my standards. The best news...IT WORKS! TS

Question 2

With such great reviews, made in the usa, organic, citrinin free, lab tested; why would you add soy? men try to avoid soy.

Accepted Answer

The certified organic, non-GMO soy that is used in the manufacturing of our red yeast rice is added before the fermentation process of the Monascus purpureus. That means the soy in the final product has gone through fermentation.  No ingredient is added after fermentation. We recommend researching the additional benefits fermented soy can provide.
