Red Yeast Rice works...I started Red Yeast Rice 6-7 years ago to lower my borderline Cholesterol. It worked and lowered my cholesterol for 1-2 years.

BUT Warnings about having the same side effects as statins worried me and I stopped RYR and the cholesterol levels increased again. I never started anything else and cholesterol levels stayed up. Further researched proved that all of these statin-like foods/supplements/drugs reduce the CoQ10 and CoQ10 supplementation is mandatory..(actually CoQ10 supplement should be taken by everyone, regardless..)...I restarted RYR today and increased my daily CoQ10 also and I will keep you posted..

I started taking red yeast rice caps six weeks ago at 2 x 600mg a day but got bad pains in legs and wrist just like statins, I manage to take 600mg every other day with coQ10 which helps the pains a bit & helps lower my blood pressure. My doc did cholestrol blood test and said it had returned to normal 3.8. RYR seems to work although it cost a fair amount money.

I was put on red yeast rice for my cholesterol, it raised my triclycerides extremely high......then I went to Niaspan er with red yeast rice, the numbers went higher.....can't take the red yeast rice, tried twice, it doesn't work for me. I won't give it a 3 rd try
