Modern people pay more and more attention to health preservation. Among them, many people think that "monascus" is a sacred product for health preservation, which can not only make turbid blood clear, but also lower blood pressure and cholesterol, so they like to put monascus into dishes, hoping to keep healthy by eating it, and many people think that long-term use of monascus can achieve the purpose of losing weight. In this regard, Gao, a master of traditional Chinese medicine, said that monascus has been used in Chinese traditional prescriptions for hundreds of years, and it has a very good effect on treating damp heat constitution, diarrhea and postpartum lochia. But there are many kinds of monascus, and a certain monascus will secrete a little citrinin. Therefore, it is suggested that people who like health preservation can choose strains that do not contain citrinin, such as monascus Chun Qing capsules. Through the special production technology such as fermentation in monascus, we can not only increase the content of blood lipid-lowering components, but also ingest unsaturated fatty acids and reduce chylomicrons, cholesterol and neutral fat in blood. The doctor pointed out that Monascus Chun Qing Capsule can effectively inhibit HMG-CoA reductase. Simply put, HMG-CoA reductase is a rate-limiting enzyme that produces cholesterol and other substances in the body. In human cells, HMG-CoA reductase can inhibit cholesterol and its oxidized derivatives, enhance the metabolism of low-density lipoprotein and reduce its concentration. In this way, the operation of the human body must use the cholesterol in blood lipids, and the cholesterol in the blood is also reduced accordingly. Therefore, HMG-CoA reductase has been widely used to reduce cholesterol. Dr. Gao explained that puerperal women, postmenopausal women, those who have increased blood total cholesterol due to aging, and those who have disordered cholesterol control due to heredity are all suitable for lowering cholesterol with Monascus Chun Qing Capsule, which indirectly reduces blood lipid and weight, but reminds people that taking Monascus for a long time is not a good way to control weight. Monascus only inhibits the synthesis of cholesterol and reduces blood lipid and cholesterol, but it can't be said that monascus has the function of losing weight, and it is beneficial to the liver from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine.
