People often see the pigment Monascus red on the ingredient lists of many foods. When it comes to pigments, people think it is harmful to the human body, and they don’t know its specific effects and functions. Today I will give a detailed introduction to red blood red, so that everyone can understand its effects and also let everyone know its hazards.

The efficacy and function of red yeast rice

1. Monascus red is different from ordinary chemical pigments. It is an edible pigment extracted from rice. It is a red powdery substance obtained by deep liquid fermentation of rice with monascus. It will not have any adverse effects after being absorbed by the human body, and can play an important role in purifying the blood, clearing heavy metals and harmful substances in the blood, and maintaining human blood health.

2. Monascus red contains a large amount of active enzymes. After being absorbed by the human body, these active enzymes can regulate the concentration of gastric acid in the human body, promote the secretion of digestive juices, and enhance the gastrointestinal digestive function of the human body. It plays a positive role in maintaining the health of the human digestive system. Those who suffer from indigestion or gastrointestinal dysfunction can also alleviate their symptoms after absorbing it.

3. Monascus red can purify the blood and lower blood lipids. The active enzymes it contains can accelerate the decomposition and metabolism of fat in the human body after being absorbed by the human body, and can inhibit the body's absorption of fat. It can significantly reduce the amount of fat and cholesterol in the blood. It can promote blood circulation, prevent the increase of blood lipids, and prevent the body from developing coronary heart disease and heart disease due to high blood lipids.

The harm of red yeast rice

The real Monascus red has obvious health benefits for people's academic success and health. It is a relatively safe food coloring that has appeared in ancient times thousands of years ago. However, the Monascus red used by many food processing companies now is not the real Monascus red, but nitrite instead. The nitrite they use is harmful to the human body.
