Choleast-900 is a Thorne product. Choleast-900 contains Monascus purpureus, a red-pigmented yeast grown on rice. It also contains consistent amounts of the naturally-occurring monacolins found in red yeast rice– without standardization or fortification – along with the phytosterols beta-sitosterol, campesterol, and stigmasterol, as well as isoflavones and trace minerals. With 50-percent more red yeast rice than our Choleast product, Choleast-900 requires fewer capsules for easier supplementation.

Red yeast rice is obtained by a well-known process that ferments rice. One of the natural by-products of the rice fermentation process is citrinin, which is a mycotoxin. The sophisticated fermentation process used by Thorne's supplier results in a very low amount of citrinin being produced as a by-product, thus you have Thorne's assurance that the two Thorne red yeast rice products (Choleast and Choleast-900) contain only a minimal, yet acceptable amount of citrinin.
