Cholesterol is produced in the liver at night, at a time when the body has stopped receiving food (2). Lipid-lowering treatments act by inhibiting the early stages of cholesterol production, preventing its release into the bloodstream. Red yeast rice and its active principles act in the same way, so it’s best to take it in the evening before going to bed.
Caution/Allergy
Not recommended for pregnant or nursing women, children under the age of 18 years old, adults over the age of 70, patients with liver disease, or transplant recipients. If you have any health concerns, see your doctor before using this product, and make sure the red rice product is compatible with any prescription medications you are taking. If you are taking a cholesterol-lowering medication or other products that contain red yeast rice, you should not take this product.
Grapefruit juice should not be consumed while taking red rice as the juice prevents the activity of CYP3A4 enzyme. Red rice metabolises through the system, leading to stronger effects (also side effects).
Redasin Forte is a natural alternative that should be taken under medical supervision, just like any supplement used for therapeutic purposes.
Please consult your physician if prescription drugs are used.
Suitable for
Suitable for adults. Not suitable for children. Not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, people with kidney problems or organ transplants.

By making arteries stiffen and clog, limiting blood flow, and raising the risk of heart attacks and stroke, high cholesterol is one of the main causes of heart disease.
However, lowering dangerous cholesterol levels can be done with medicine, a balanced diet, and more activity.
It has been discovered that using a Red rice supplement has less adverse effects than taking prescription medications for decreasing cholesterol.
They discovered that red yeast rice supplementation had the same cholesterol-lowering impact as the drug simvastatin while having less adverse effects, such as weariness, in a high-quality scientific study known as a randomized control trial.
Physiological effects
- Redasin® Strong contains red rice fermented from Monascus purpureus mould as well as ubiquinone (co-enzyme Q10), folic acid and vitamins B6 and B12 all important for heart health. Monacolin K from red yeast rice contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol level with a daily intake of 10 mg.
- Regularly used red rice helps to lower total cholesterol, bad LDL cholesterol and triglycerides and also increases good LDL cholesterol.
- Ubiquinone (co-enzyme Q10) is a fat soluble, vitamin-like substance that exists in every cell. Ubiquinone plays an important role in cells’ energy production and is a strong antioxidant. The heart in particular benefits from ubiquinone as it consumes a lot of energy. Ubiquinone is produced in the liver, but is decreased, for example, with ageing and as a result of some illnesses, medication or nutrients.
- Regular use of red rice decreases ubiquinone content in the body and thus ubiquinone is added in the product to replace the body’s own decreased production.
- The combination of three B vitamins folic acid, vitamins B6 and B12 helps to lower harmful homocysteine levels to support cardiovascular health. Disturbances in enzymatic functions (hereditary) or vitamin (folic acid, B6 and B12) deficiency lead to increased homocysteine levels. Several clinical studies show a clear link between increased homocysteine levels to different peripheral circulation, cerebral circulation and cardiovascular diseases.
