What is the function of Monascus red powder?
1. Monascus has the effect of lowering blood cholesterol. Professor Akira Endo discovered from the culture medium of Monascus that all five monacolin components have the effect of inhibiting cholesterol synthesis.Among them, monacolin K has the best effect.
2. The blood sugar-lowering effect of Monascus. While conducting animal tests on Monascus culture to reduce serum cholesterol, Yamauchi et al. found that the blood sugar of all test rabbits decreased by 23% to 33% within 0.5 hours after taking it, while the blood sugar was still lower than the blood sugar after 1 hour.The control group decreased by 19% to 29%, and its mechanism needs further study.
3. The blood pressure-lowering effect of red yeast rice. A Japanese research institute conducted an animal test of adding red yeast rice culture to feed and found that adding 0.2% to 0.3% red yeast rice culture can reduce the blood pressure of congenitally hypertensive mice from 26.26kpa to 24.0kpa.the following.
4. Anti-cancer effect of red yeast rice The red yeast rice orange pigments momascorubin and rubropunctatin have active hydroxyl groups, which can easily interact with amino groups, so they can treat aminemia and prevent cancer.
