And triglyceride levels less than 200 mg/dl. The benefits of Red Yeast Rice are attributed to the presence of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, enzymes in the liver that control the amount of cholesterol produced in the liver. It has been hypothesized that relatively high concentrations of unsaturated fatty acids and other natural compounds found in Red Yeast Rice may work in concert with HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors to provide additional health benefit.
