Expensive, but kamakazied my cholesterol levels. Blood pressure dropped to normal as well.

Yup, they act like that “200” is some magic number…it’s just an arbitrary line. When my doctor brought up my BMI number, he lost all credibility. That crap is as accurate as reading the horoscopes to get your lucky numbers.

So, how fat are you?

My Chiropractor warned me about high cholesterol because of yellow ting in my eyes. Was put on statins and hated them. Then my optometrist told me about "red yeast rice". Been taking it ever since and levels are within safe numbers without statins.

Only problem is that red yeast rice (extract) seems to work because it contains a naturally occurring version of the same statin used in prescription medicines.

Red Yeast Rice and Cholesterol

Red yeast rice is known to reduce cholesterol. Know why the FDA banned a few supplements containing its extract and why more research is needed into its health benefits.

It's basically a non-prescription version of statin drugs, and the FDA seems to limit the amount of the active ingredient allow in the supplement versions.

Interesting information. I am 70 and take NO meds just a handful of suppliments including the red yeast rice (get it at whole foods) and have none of the side effects I had with statin drugs. Folks need to do what feels right for them. As for me anytime I can take a natural product over a big pharma product its a big win. After this last Covid-19 vaccine scam I don't trust a damn thing big pharma says or does
