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.
Monascus purpureus NTU 568 is a patented functional red yeast strain isolated and studied for more than ten years by the research team of Professor Tzu-Ming Pan from National Taiwan University. Its fermented products contain high levels of two active compounds: Monascin and Ankaflavin. Science basis is perfectly supported by more than 120 related SCI publications, including a large number of animal and clinical studies verifying its effects on regulation of blood lipids, blood glucose, blood pressure, prevention and treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease, etc. It was also certified with plenty of patents from the USA, EU, Canada, Japan, Australia, China, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, etc.
