I had read some good things about red rice yeast, and thought I'd see if it made an impact for me. The result was dramatic - my total cholestrol went from about 200 to 140. My doctor was very pleased, but she did some resarch on which brands performed well for consistent potency as well not having risk of carcinogens. This was on the list of the top 6 recommended red rice supplements, and the doctor endorsed this one for ease of use (take one per day). A store brand I had tried did well on the cholesterol but did not fare well on the lab research for cacinogens. Be aware that all red rice yeast is not the same.

Millions of people aren't wrong, this really can replace statins. Maybe not if you're taking a very high dose of course, but in place of my 10 mg a day prescription at $3.50 a tablet, it sure did work! All lipid levals are normal, the same as they were when I took the statins. Talk to your Dr. and have a lipid panel run (cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides), then ask if you can try red yeast rice for 3 months or so. Repeat the lipid panel and see if it works for you. Consumerlab.com an independent testing lab that I subscribe to ($29.00 a year-they test all OTC vitimins/herbs etc. things on the market) said this brand has the most active ingredients of all on the market, and Amazon has the best price. Don't forget to read up on fish oil too. My daughter's triglycerides went from 320 down to 187 in two months! Yes, discuss it with a health professional because these OTC's may interfere with other things you are taking. Be safe with OTC's!

For the past year, my husband has been taking Natures Plus Red Yeast Rice extended release at bedtime and his total cholesterol and LDL have both reduced substantially. His doctor recommended it. If this didn't work, he'd have to go on a statin. Fortunately that's not necessary now because his cholesterol dropped to about 200.
I'd like to add that there was a study published in the New York Times science column in late 2010 comparing efficacy of about 10 different red yeast rice products. Natures Plus Red Yeast Rice was included in the laboratory study. I ordered a copy of the results online and discovered that Nature's Plus seemed to test the best among all the other brands. Some of the other brands have a toxin after-effect to the kidney, something to do with the yeast fermentation process. Also some of the other brands don't necessarily have the concentration of monocolins which they state on their packaging. That has to do with quality control in the manufacturing process.
In any event, the study showed that Natures Plus Red Yeast Rice did not have the toxin and the monocolin count was accurate as stated (600).
I have to say we were very concerned about this toxin thing especially, and it was relief to learn that Natures Plus RYR passed the lab test. Otherwise my husband would have switched to a prescription statin. We are staying with this product.
