Red Yeast Rice (RYR) is a natural product that has been used by Asian traditional herbalists for centuries. It is produced by fermenting Red Yeast (Monascus purpureus) with rice. The Red Yeast Rice in Protocol For Life Balance® Cardio Tri-Plex™ is carefully produced to avoid the presence of citrinin, an unwanted by-product of RYR fermentation process. This product is further enhanced with the addition of CoQ10 and Omega-3 Fish Oil to support healthy cardiovascular function.*
