Researchers from Taiwan examined the efficacy of monacolin K-rich and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-rich red yeast rice (RYR) in treating hyperlipidemia in a randomized control double-blind clinical trial. Their results were published in The American Journal of Chinese Medicine.
Based on these results, the researchers concluded that using different concentrations and ratios of monacolin K and GABA is beneficial for treating hyperlipidemia.
