Red Yeast Rice Extract Monacolin k
product description
Red yeast rice extract monacolin K is a high-purity functional plant extract refined from premium Monascus purpureus via a high-ratio (5:1) hydro-ethanolic extraction performed using food-grade ethanol. technology. As a core industrial raw material with the same chemical structure as natural lovastatin, it is widely used in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and functional food industries.
The product is a fine, uniform red-brown powder with no peculiar smell, uniform color, and no agglomeration. The citrinin residue is strictly controlled below 15ppb, far exceeding EU and international industry standards. All heavy metal indicators pass third-party SGS testing, with zero excessive heavy metals, meeting global pharmaceutical and food industrial safety specifications. It features stable chemical properties, low moisture content, and high active ingredient retention rate, fully adapting to industrial large-scale batching and formula processing.
Product applications
Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplement Industry
Industrial-grade red yeast rice extract monacolin k is the core certified raw material for global lipid-regulating dietary supplements, widely formulated in mainstream finished products such as red yeast rice hard capsules, chewable tablets, effervescent tablets, solid drink granules, and compound cardiovascular health supplements. Relying on ultra-stable Monacolin K content, ultra-low citrinin and heavy metal indicators, it perfectly adapts to high-end health product formula standards in Europe, America, Southeast Asia and other regions. It is specially tailored for middle-aged and elderly sub-health populations with high blood lipids, high cholesterol and poor cardiovascular metabolism, and can be compounded with phytosterols, niacin, omega-3 and other ingredients to enhance lipid-lowering efficacy.
Pharmaceutical Raw Material Industry
This product is a high-purity natural lipid-lowering pharmaceutical intermediate raw material, compliant with USP, EP pharmaceutical-grade raw material standards, specially developed for pharmaceutical factory prescription drug processing and medical-grade health medicine production. Different from ordinary food-grade extracts, our industrial Monacolin K undergoes multi-stage physical purification and impurity removal, with strictly controlled microbial and heavy metal indicators, meeting the strict access threshold of pharmaceutical raw materials.
