I'd been prescribed a statin for my high cholesterol but I experienced erratic and scary pulse rates, so I stopped taking it. When I asked my regular medical Dr. about possible natural medications, he told me about Red Yeast Rice (1200 mg./per day) and CoQ-10 (300 mg./day)- which I took together.

I started noticing muscle pain and difficulty walking after a month but didn't associate it with the RYR until I'd stopped taking it a couple of days then remembered reading it could present the same side effects as statins. I've been off for 2 weeks but still experiencing muscle pain in my leg. Also taking zetia with no problems.

I've been taking LipiTonic by Karuna for several weeks. Don't know yet if it's affected my cholesterol levels but it has turned my stools black!! I can't find any reference to that side effect and am wondering if anyone else has had that experience?

In one year my C reactive protein is less than one, HDL is high, triglycerides have lower, my HDL lowered a few points. It is affordable easy to use. I buy the one with ubquinone or coq10.
