NOW Foods Supplements, Red Yeast Rice with CoQ10, plus Milk Thistle & Alpha Lipoic Acid, 120 Veg Capsules

I use this in place of statin drugs to avoid the statin side effects which i have had before . My cholesterol numbers are within reasonable levels. Your body and brain need cholesterol to function and there is plenty of medical studies that say the below 190 levels pushed today are more harm than help.

Great product.

Was a good product, helped with my blood pressure

TAKE DAILY HELPS ME ALOT

this product is potent. i say this because i'm of the rare few that cannot handle pharmaceutical statins such as atorvastatin. statins cause my muscles to ache and break down to a point it crimples me. for the lucky many that don't understand what happens, imagine straining your your muscles lifting to the point of total failure. now imagine your body NEVER repairing itself and you remain crimpled. that is what statin does to me and the unlucky few. health wise im a 33 year old guy that is lean, muscular athletic, goes to gym frequently, eats very healthy, into extreme adrenaline sports, and normally very strong. but genetically my LDL is very high around 234, and my HDL isn't at around 45. without needing to explain my diet, it can definitely say i eat a proper nutritional diet; not much red meats, plenty of fish and vegetables, organics, etc. i have tried another similar brand with the name of nature way for RYR, it's not as potent as NOW but my body seemed to accept it with only 1 pill per day. RYR shares similarity to lovastatin. but RYR differs in concentration between brands. so i will have to say NOW brand is potent because my body is mildly reacting to this brand the same was atorvastatin did to me when i was prescribed a heavy 40mg daily dose. i cannot handle this brand NOW at 1 pill per day; i take it every other day or 2 days. with that said, it's not to scare anyone off, but it's to say their supplement is more refined. i hope for the best experience for everyone.

I just started trying this, because I’m trying to lower my cholesterol and this is said to work. So hopefully this will help. I will adjust my review if it does not.

Satisfactorily accomplished its purpose. Only drawback here is the heartburn. I've taken Red Yeast Rice supplements before with no problem, but these cause heartburn unless I take them with milk, yogurt, or a protein shake.

It does exactly what I needed it to do!
