Re: Lowering Blood Cholesterol With Fish Oil And Red Yeast Rice Instead Of Statins

[Guest guest]

Red yeast rice IS a statin, it is just not a pharmaceutical statin. And big

pharma was successful in getting the FDA to remove the lovastatin from the

red yeast rice to reduct the competition for their products. In the linked

article there is mention that the red yeast rice continues to have benefits.

Hey , thanks for the information. I had been on Lipitor for a short period

of time and of course had extra pain associated with taking it and increases CPK

level. I had looked in to RYR but since it was still a Statin I was cautious in

trying it. Has anyone here tried RYR and if so have you had any luck? Also

what kind do you take if it works.

Thanks
