I took Red Yeast Rice tablets for some years. Then decided to discontinue them after a discussion here and then with my doc. FWIW, I don't think they did a lot for my cholesterol readings.Anyone tried Red Yeast Rice tablets or Weider Red Mold Rice tablets? Someone recommended me to try as alternative to statins but from my internet research, Red Mold Rice supplement in form of tablets also have side effects. Any comments appreciated.
If they have statin properties you would have to ask yourself why not take the actual statins? Are they as safe? They are probably cheaper but that's not a great reason to take them. You can buy Choleast on Amazon (along with a lot of other dubious and great stuff).
I do not know how much statin they represent as opposed to the actual FDA controlled drugs. I did find one paper that discussed how the preparation was done. Maybe there is some literature out there I do not know about.
