Red Yeast Rice Supplement - 180 Capsules | Pharmacist Formulated | Made in Canada

Red yeast rice has a long history of use and begins with rice from the Oryza sativa plant. It is fermented with Monascus purpureus, creating the distinctive red colour that gives this ingredient its name. Herba® Red Yeast Rice pairs this traditional ingredient with two other plant-derived actives: free plant sterols and policosanol.

Plant sterols are naturally occurring compounds found in plants. This formula uses free plant sterols rather than esterified forms, with 80% coming from a blend of beta-sitosterol, campesterol, and stigmasterol. That detail matters for shoppers comparing plant sterol supplements, since the amount shown refers to the free plant sterols themselves.

Policosanol rounds out the combination. It is a mixture of naturally occurring long-chain fatty alcohols, often included in plant-based cholesterol supplements alongside red yeast rice and plant sterols. Rather than choosing a single-ingredient option, this product brings these three well-known ingredients together in a balanced daily serving.

Herba® Red Yeast Rice is also made without citrinin. Citrinin is a naturally occurring compound that can be associated with some red yeast rice ingredients, so this is a meaningful consideration when comparing red yeast rice products.

Product Highlights

Every daily serving contains 740 mg of free plant sterols, 400 mg of red yeast rice, and 80 mg of policosanol. The two-capsule format is easy to fit into an everyday routine: take both capsules once daily with food.

Each bottle contains 180 vegetable capsules, providing a full 90-day supply. It is prepared in Canada and is suitable for people looking for a non-GMO, vegan, and gluten-free red yeast rice complex.

The product is NPN licensed by Health Canada (NPN 80143885), giving shoppers a clear way to identify this Canadian natural health product. The combination of red yeast rice, free plant sterols, and policosanol makes it a thoughtful choice for people specifically seeking a comprehensive plant-based cholesterol supplement rather than a single-ingredient product.
