ANKASCIN^® 568-R is extracted from fermented products of patented functional red yeast strain (Monascus purpureus  NTU 568). Unlike conventional manual fermentation with derivative quality instability, this premium ingredient is the only red yeast fermented extract manufactured using an exclusive automated solid state fermentation technique. ANKASCIN^® 568-R is FREE of risky lovastatin/monacolin K but contains high levels of another two new active compounds (Monascin and Ankaflavin). Safety and functions have been verified through plenty of animal and clinical studies. In 2015, this ingredient was honorably reviewed and accepted by the US FDA as a NEW DIETARY INGREDIENT (NDI), which made it the only eligible red yeast ingredient on the US market that could legally apply claims and clearly specify the contents of active compounds. Therefore, it is greatly suitable for formulation of dietary supplements and fortified foods.
