In china it used for coloring food or as a food preservative. But this rice also has another effect that is lowering cholesterol. So this extract have sold as natural cholesterol lowering agent. Why this rice can reduce cholesterol? Because in this rice contains a substances called monacolins and this substances can inhibit the synthesis of cholesterol.


Now this rice have sold in over the counter as dried grains or ground powder or a pill. This is making controversy. Is it a drugs or a food supplement?tension
