Monacolin K Potency Scale
Choose your therapeutic grade
Every batch is titrated to a precise Monacolin K percentage. Pick the tier that matches your label claim, regulatory jurisdiction, and target consumer dose — we hold the certificate of analysis for every drum.
Standard Grade
TH-RYR 2.5
Monacolin K2.5%
Ideal for daily-wellness positioning and food supplement registrations in jurisdictions with a 10 mg/day ceiling.
Clinical Grade
TH-RYR 3.5
Monacolin K3.5%
Our most-orders tier. Suits EFSA-aligned formulations targeting 10 mg Monacolin K per serving in a compact 300 mg capsule.
Concentrated
TH-RYR 5.0
Monacolin K5.0%
Maximum-density extract for softgel and sachet applications. Lower fill weight, higher label accuracy, fewer excipients.
Quality & Compliance
Tested at every stage, traceable to the fermenter
Quality is not a finish line. We monitor citrinin, heavy metals, microbial load, and Monacolin K potency from inoculum to finished powder — and we hand you the documentation.
GMP Certified Facility
21 CFR Part 111 and EU GMP compliant production halls with full batch traceability.
ISO 22000:2018
Food safety management system audited annually by an accredited third-party body.
HPLC & LC-MS Verified
In-house chromatography with dual-wavelength UV detection and mass-spec confirmation per batch.
Origin Traced
Every fermenter batch links to a single Monascus purpureus strain line with full genealogical records.
From Cell to Capsule
Five steps, one molecule
Our vertical process keeps the molecule in controlled hands from the inoculum to the sealed drum — no brokered intermediates, no surprise substitutions.
1
Strain Selection
Single-colony isolation of high-yield Monascus purpureus with verified low-citrinin phenotype.
2
Submerged Fermentation
Closed-vessel, 14-day fed-batch with continuous pH, dissolved oxygen, and glucose monitoring.
3
Harvest & Dry
Low-temperature spray-drying preserves Monacolin K integrity and minimises citrinin carryover.
4
Standardise & Test
HPLC titration to target Monacolin K, full panel against heavy metals, microbials, and mycotoxins.
5
Pack & Ship
Foil-lined fibre drums with batch-locked CoAs, dispatched cold-chain to your warehouse in 5–9 days.
Voices from the Industry
What our partners say
Brands, formulators, and procurement leads on what changed when they switched to Twin Horse.
We moved four SKUs to Twin Horse in a single quarter. The Monacolin K consistency across batches meant we finally retired our in-house HPLC spot-check on incoming goods.
Dr. Margit Reuter
Head of Product, Helveticare AG
Citrinin under 50 ppb batch after batch, real chromatograms, and a coA I can hand to our German retail buyer without a follow-up email. That is the whole job, done well.
James Tan
Procurement Director, Nuvita Wellness
Our formulators asked for a 5% Monacolin K softgel premix with phospholipid carrier. Twin Horse delivered a pilot in 11 days and production-grade material two weeks later. Unusual pace.
