Best Red Yeast Rice contains rice that has been naturally fermented with red yeast (Monascus purpureus) according to traditional methods. In Chinese medicine, red yeast rice is used to: promote blood circulation; soothe upset stomach; invigorate the function of the spleen, a body organ that destroys old blood cells and filters foreign substances; soothe bruised muscles, hangovers, indigestion and colic in infants. Recently, it has been discovered that red yeast rice contains substances that are similar to prescription medications that lower cholesterol.* Produced in the U.S., this product is similar to red yeast rice that has been used in culinary applications in Asia since at least 800 A.D. It is considered beneficial for adult men and women when taken as part of a lifestyle program that includes regular exercise and a healthy diet.*

Q. What are your capsules made of?
A. Doctor's Best capsules are typical gelatin capsules, with the exception of select products now available in veggie cap form. They are made of gelatin from cattle, like the familiar "Knox gelatin" sold in grocery stores.
The gelatin used to make Doctor's Best's capsules is manufactured in accordance with strict guidelines that ensure it is BSE-free. The FDA and the supplement industry approved these guidelines. The gelatin is made only from cattle living in non-BSE countries. All Doctor's Best capsules are in full compliance with the FDA's September 1997 industry guide, The Sourcing and Processing of Gelatin to Reduce the Potential Risk Posed by Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy in FDA-Regulated Products for Human Use.
Q. How long does it take for a capsule to dissolve?
A. Approximately 30-45 minutes. For 2-piece gelatin capsule, the USP standard for maximum dissolution time is 45 minutes.
Q. How long does it take for a tablet to dissolve?
A. FDA Rules & Regulations require tablets to dissolve in 45 minutes or less. However, Doctor's Best sets its standards higher. They require that their tablets dissolve in 30 minutes or less. Every lot of products in tablet form is tested to verify that it dissolves in under 30 minutes.
Q. Can I find out how fast a capsule or tablet dissolves by dropping it in a glass of water or vinegar at home?
A. Testing dissolution times at home using vinegar is not an accurate way to learn what happens to capsules and tablets in your stomach. Because stomach acid is much stronger than vinegar, capsules and tablets dissolve much faster in the stomach than in a glass of water or vinegar. Also, the stomach continually "agitates" its contents, much like a washing machine does.

Q. Who determines what the daily dosage should be? And how is this done?
A. A panel of scientists at The Natural Academy of Sciences performs extensive research, ongoing clinical studies and scientific testing in order to determine the RDI (Recommended Daily Intake).
Q. I see that Silicon Dioxide has been used as an excipient in some of your products. Should I be concerned?
A. Silicon Dioxide is a GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) food additive. Numerous studies have found the following:
The oral toxicity for humans would be greater than 350 grams in one dose based on allometric comparisons between the mice studied and humans.
A single dose of 2,500mg of amorphous polymeric silicon dioxide to human volunteers did not significantly raise the SiO2 excretion in the urine. This suggests poor absorption of silicon dioxide (Langendorf 1966).
Less than one one-hundredth (1/100th) of the dose was found in urine, suggesting extremely poor absorption (Langendorf 1966).
This would suggest that there is no scientific reason to eliminate silicon dioxide as an excipient at the very low levels found in dietary supplements.
Q. Why is silicon dioxide used as an excipient in Doctor’s Best products? Why are excipients used at all?
A. Silicon Dioxide is used as a flow agent to enable "sticky" substances to flow through the encapsulation equipment. If silicon dioxide were not used, other flow agents would have to be used which would actually increase the number of excipients found in a given product. Ideally, the fewer excipients used, the better.
Q. Is there a limit to how many vitamins can be taken safely in one day?
A. Our bodies need vitamins and minerals, and if taken in large amounts, vitamins and minerals can adversely affect health. Large amounts of anything can be toxic. Our best advice is to work with a nutritionally aware doctor and follow label directions. |
