Red Yeast Rice (Monascus purpureus)
Heber et al., 1999 · American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial; n=83; 8 weeks; participants with elevated total cholesterol
Participants with elevated total cholesterol who received a red yeast rice preparation showed statistically significant reductions in total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides compared to those who received placebo; the preparation contained naturally occurring monacolins, and monacolin content can vary between red yeast rice products.
Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial; n=62; 24 weeks; participants with hyperlipidemia and prior statin intolerance
Participants with hyperlipidemia and prior statin intolerance who received a red yeast rice preparation showed statistically significant reductions in LDL cholesterol compared to those who received placebo, with a lower rate of myopathy adverse events than historically associated with conventional statins; monacolin content of red yeast rice products is not standardized across manufacturers.
Meta-analysis of RCTs; multiple randomized controlled trials included; participants with dyslipidemia
A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials found that participants who received red yeast rice supplementation showed statistically significant reductions in total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides compared to those who received placebo; liver enzyme elevations were reported in a small subset of participants across the pooled analysis.
Participants with moderate-to-severe chronic heart failure who received CoQ10 supplementation (300 mg/day) showed statistically significant reductions in major adverse cardiovascular events and cardiovascular mortality compared to those who received placebo (P < 0.02); results were specific to a clinical heart failure population and may not generalize to healthy adults.
Systematic review and meta-analysis of RCTs; multiple trials included; participants with various cardiovascular conditions
A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials found that participants who received CoQ10 supplementation showed statistically significant improvements in systolic and diastolic blood pressure compared to those who received placebo; the pooled analysis noted heterogeneity across included studies in populations, doses, and durations.

How it works
Every ingredient, chosen with intention.
Here's what's in this bottle - and why each ingredient earned its place in the formula.
Red Yeast Rice
Monascus purpureus fermented rice
Rice that has been fermented with Monascus purpureus yeast, a process that produces a range of naturally occurring monacolins, compounds that share structural similarities with statin-class molecules and act on the same enzyme pathway involved in cholesterol synthesis.
Why we chose it
At 1,200mg per serving, this is a high-dose format. Red yeast rice has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries and is one of the most studied natural compounds in the cholesterol-support category. Yuve sources a standardized extract to ensure consistent monacolin content across batches.
CoQ10
Coenzyme Q10
A fat-soluble compound the body produces naturally and uses in the mitochondrial electron transport chain to generate cellular energy (ATP). It also functions as a lipid-soluble antioxidant within cell membranes.
Why we chose it
Statin-class compounds, including the monacolins in red yeast rice, work by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, the same enzyme involved in both cholesterol and CoQ10 synthesis. Including 100mg of CoQ10 alongside the red yeast rice addresses this mechanism directly.
A whole-food iron supplement chelated with rice protein for gentle absorption, formulated to support healthy red blood cell production.
Questions, answered
What customers often ask.
Why is CoQ10 included in a red yeast rice formula?
Red yeast rice contains naturally occurring monacolins, compounds that work through a similar pathway to statin medications. Some research and clinical observation suggests this mechanism may affect the body's own CoQ10 production over time. Including 100mg of CoQ10 directly addresses that consideration.
How long does it take to see any effect?
Studies on red yeast rice preparations show changes in cholesterol markers over eight to twenty-four weeks of daily use. This is a long-horizon daily supplement, not a short-term intervention. Monitoring with your healthcare provider through periodic lipid panels gives you an actual read on what's changing.
Should I take this with food?
Yes, take with a fat-containing meal. CoQ10 is fat-soluble and absorbs meaningfully better alongside dietary fat. A meal with olive oil, avocado, nuts, or eggs helps both the CoQ10 and any fat-soluble compounds in the red yeast rice absorb properly.
Is it safe to take with cholesterol medication?
Please consult your healthcare provider before taking red yeast rice if you are on any cholesterol-lowering medication, blood thinners, or other cardiac drugs. Red yeast rice contains monacolins that work through similar pathways to statins, and combining them without medical oversight is not recommended.
What exactly is red yeast rice?
Red yeast rice is white rice fermented with Monascus purpureus mold, a centuries-old ingredient in East Asian food and wellness traditions. The fermentation process produces monacolins alongside other compounds. It has been used as a dietary staple in parts of China, Japan, and Southeast Asia for over a thousand years.
Can I skip a month and still get consistent results?
Consistency matters with this supplement. Research data is built on daily use over months, skipping extended periods resets the progress. If you're evaluating effectiveness, give it at least eight to twelve weeks of uninterrupted daily use before drawing conclusions, and monitor with your healthcare provider.
