Formula re: Contains: Red Yeast Rice is a natural product that has been used by Asian traditional herbalists since approximately 800 A.D.

Peking Duck is an example of the coloration and flavor imparted by red yeast rice.
Formulation re: Does NOT Contain: NOW Red Yeast Rice is carefully produced to avoid the presence of citrinin, an unwanted by-product of the fermentation process.
