Comparative Chemical Profiling and Monacolins Quantification in Red Yeast Rice Dietary Supplements by <sup>1</sup>H-NMR and UHPLC-DAD-MS

Red yeast rice dietary supplements (RYR DS) are largely sold in Western countries for their cholesterol-lowering/regulating effect due to monacolins, mainly monacolin K (MK), which is, in fact, lovastatin, the first statin drug on the market. <sup>1</sup>H-NMR was used as an easy, rapid...
