Six precision-blended Monacolin K concentrations — from 0.2% functional-food grades to 5% pharmaceutical reference standards. Every batch traceable from fermentation cell to finished capsule.
Each grade is produced from the same Monascus purpureus strain under controlled solid-state fermentation, then standardized to its target Monacolin K concentration through low-temperature spray drying.
Entry-grade extract for functional foods, fermented rice blends and culinary applications where trace Monacolin activity is desired.
Workhorse grade for daily cardiovascular supplements. Balanced potency, clean flavor profile, ideal for capsule and tablet formulations.
The clinical-research workhorse. Standardized for double-blind trials and high-potency finished products with documented HMG-CoA reductase activity.
Premium-grade concentrate for physician-channel nutraceuticals. Low residual moisture, tight heavy-metal envelope, third-party CoA per batch.
High-potency grade for finished softgels requiring small fill volume. Suitable for combination formulas targeting lipid metabolism support.
Pharmaceutical reference standard. Used as the calibration anchor in our in-house HPLC method and shipped with full impurity profiling.
Standardization is the difference between a commodity rice powder and a reproducible active ingredient. Our four-pillar quality architecture is what holds the line.
Solid-state fermentation in sealed bioreactors with humidity, pH and temperature locked to ±0.3°C tolerance.
Every sub-lot quantified against an in-house Monacolin K reference standard; reported on a dry-weight basis with ±0.05% variance.
Mycotoxin monitored by LC-MS/MS at every release. Standard grades hold below 50 ppb; reference grades below 10 ppb.
From rice cultivar lot number to capsule fill batch — every container carries a scannable lineage record for your QA file.
The right concentration depends on delivery format, target daily Monacolin K intake and regional regulatory limits. A rough guide:
Use 0.2–0.5% grades as a culinary ingredient — porridge mixes, vinegar blends, traditional condiments where trace bioactivity is welcome but claims are conservative.
1.0–2.0% grades are the standard for once-daily 600 mg capsules delivering 6–12 mg Monacolin K — the dose range used in most published trials.
3.0–4.0% concentrates pair well with coenzyme Q10, berberine or policosanol in lipid-support complexes, keeping softgel fill mass under 500 mg.
5.0% crystalline grade is reserved for in-house analytical calibration, third-party lab reference materials and pharmaceutical R&D programs.
We switched three of our cardiovascular SKUs to Twin Horse RYR-C20 last year. Potency drift between batches effectively disappeared — our QC rejections dropped to under 0.4%, and the citrinin reports are the cleanest we've received from any supplier in the category.
