Monascus

Monascus is a genus of fungi known for producing pigments and monacolin K, a compound with cholesterol-lowering properties similar to statins. Traditionally used in East Asian cuisine and medicine, Monascus-fermented products are studied for their potential cardiovascular benefits and antimicrobial effects. At CymitQuimica, we offer high-quality Monascus extracts and compounds for research in nutrition, cardiovascular health, and natural food colorants.
