Red yeast rice is a natural product used by traditional Asian herbalists for centuries. It is produced by a fermentation of red yeast (monascus purpureus) with rice. The Cardio Tri-PlexTM supplement is carefully produced to avoid the presence of citrinin, an undesirable byproduct of the red yeast rice fermentation process. This product is enriched with the addition of CoQ10 and omega-3 fish oil for the maintenance of healthy cardiovascular function.
