Yes, fermented red rice (contained in the Armolipid supplement) can affect blood clotting, mainly through the content of substances related to lowering cholesterol. Red fermented rice is a product obtained by fermenting rice with specific types of mushrooms of the genus Monascus. As a result of this process, compounds from the group of monacolins are formed, the most famous of which is monacolin K. Monacolin K is structurally similar to statins, which are a group of drugs used to lower cholesterol. Substances present in red fermented rice, including monacolin K, can act to reduce cholesterol levels by inhibiting the enzyme responsible for the production of cholesterol in the body. This results in a decrease in the amount of LDL cholesterol (so-called "bad" cholesterol) in the blood. However, reducing cholesterol levels can affect blood clotting, since cholesterol is necessary for the production of certain components involved in clotting processes. As a result of lowering cholesterol levels, these processes can be disrupted, which can lead to a prolongation of blood clotting time.
