"I originally bought this product to help reduce my husband's 200+ cholesterol numbers. He takes 1 in the morning and 1 at night; although I have no problems with high cholesterol, I do take 1 of these each day to make sure things stay that way. These pills are a bit larger than most NSI supplements, but go down very easily!"

"Red yeast rice used to contain lovestatin as a result of it's fermentation process. That is what reduced cholesterol in RYR. The FDA discovered the lovestatin content and decided to regulate RYR banning the sale of RYR with lovestatin. Thus it should no longer be effective in reducing cholesteral. If you find your cholesterol has dropped, look to what other supplements you may be taking or life style changes you may have implemented that may have resulted in your lower cholesterol. If there are really people who have seen their cholesterol go down with the only change being RYR, I'd love to learn about it and be proven wrong. Otherwise, RYR is nothing but a scam.

It's really a shame that the FDA has banned the original formulation of RYR because the Chinese have been using it for thousands of years with no reported side effects or health problems.

lower your cholesterol, December 20, 2008
By roxylady from ventura ca

"I've tried red yeast rice from other companies, but I never was able to lower my cholesterol until now. I've been trying to lower my cholesterol for 5 years, but it would not go any lower than 240. After taking this product twice a day, my cholesterol was 180 at my last blood test. This product definitely is working for me."

"My overall cholesterol dropped 30 points and my LDL was down 62 points. Plus, my triglycerides dropped from 199 to 107...best in years! In the past, I tried everything, even losing weight and changing my diet (both permanent changes), to no avail. In just three months, I saw great results with red yeast rice. My doctor was impressed, too. Wow!"

"I started taking Red Yeast Rice about 3 months ago because i read that it could help to lower my cholesterol. Well my cholesterol levels actually went up. I was at 205 when i started and 3 months later i was at 226. I recently read that red yeast rice only works if it is fermented in a certain way and that the FDA forced companies to change the way it is fermented, basically rendering it useless. It's so hard to tell what works and what doesn't because there will one study that says something works and another saying it doesn't. Well red yeast rice didn't work for me and if what i read about the fermenting process is true it will not work for anyone else either. I read that Arginine may help out so i'll try that next."

"I tried the 1200mg tablets first. I felt they were too big and the edges were not smooth so swallowing was difficult for me. The capsules are much easier to swallow and leave no after taste.
I don't now if they are effective in lowering my cholesterol yet, but when I used the product from a different supplier I achieved great results. I hope these will continue to perform in the same manner as they did.

"Red Yeast Rice was recommended by my doctor (a former pharmacist, by the way).

Red Yeast Rice is a great way to tackle a problem and still avoid prescription drugs. As they say in the drug ads: "Ask your doctor if it is right for you!" Who knows, maybe YOU can educate YOUR DOCTOR!

Give it a try.
