Unlocking the Potential of Ankascin® 568: Enhancing Cardiovascular Health in Dietary Supplements to Propel Your Products to New Heights

This event is now available on demand.

Event Overview:

Red Yeast rice has been widely used for its cholesterol-lowering properties, attributed to monacolin K (MK) for years, but increasing evidence of MK's side effects is drawing concern. The US FDA has classified red yeast rice products containing more than trace amounts of MK as unapproved new drugs, prohibiting their sale as dietary supplements in the US. EU regulations from 2022 also restrict MK content to 3 mg/daily dosage, reduced from the original 10 mg/day. Our ANKASCIN® 568, a breakthrough in RYR, addresses this issue with a unique fermentation technique that eliminates Monacolins while offering natural pigments Monascin and Ankaflavin, proven to enhance cardiovascular and metabolic health.

In the dietary supplement industry, brand companies work to make their products appealing and maintain a stable purchase rate. Product developers and brand managers continually strive to create unique formulas, understand competitor actions, and ensure their products stand out. At SunWay, leveraging over 10 years of experience with Taiwan’s top-selling RYR supplement, we provide insights on effective marketing and formula creation that outperforms competitors.

Following a Penicillium fungi contamination incident at Kobayashi Pharma in Japan, GMP-certified SunWay Biotech showcased its stringent quality controls. Utilizing proprietary sealed auto solid-state fermenters, we rigorously manage environmental conditions and personnel to avoid contamination and reduce risks such as citrinin production. Our meticulous control of moisture, temperature, and air quality, coupled with strict sanitation and comprehensive training, guarantees the highest quality of ANKASCIN® 568 production. Post-incident, immediate third-party testing confirmed our products were free of citrinin, aflatoxins, heavy metals, and other contaminants, ensuring the safety and integrity of our client’s products.
