I've been taking Now Foods Red Yeast Rice on and off for a few years. I've documented, through blood tests, how effectively it lowers bad cholesterol (LDL) and raises good cholesterol (HDL), also helping to decrease triglycerides if they are elevated. It's important not to mix it with other cholesterol medications, and regular blood work is advised to monitor cholesterol and kidney function if using this.

I was diagnosed with high cholesterol and tried pharmaceutical medication, which caused severe leg pain. I learned about red yeast rice and decided to give it a go. Although I haven't had my cholesterol checked again, I feel significantly better since starting these supplements. My chest pain and other high cholesterol symptoms have disappeared. However, my holistic practitioner advised against long-term use due to potential liver effects, suggesting milk thistle and Coenzyme Q10 in conjunction.

Most Useful Review

A cardiologist advised me to take this drug for my vascular atherosclerosis and carotid artery plaques since my cholesterol isn’t critical. To avoid statins, the doctor recommended this medication. After ordering it from a friend, I took it for two months, resulting in a drop in cholesterol! The most notable improvement was my well-being; my headaches, which used to occur daily due to migraines, significantly decreased, and there was much less dizziness. I’ve already ordered it from the website and will continue taking it.
