Red Rice Yeast
« on: May 01, 2025, 08:00:51 AM »

I am going for a blood test in a few weeks, A1c, liver and kidney function and cholesterol.  My cholesterol is always high, 6.6 on the last one.

I have bought some Red Rice Yeast capsules, 2 doses are 800mg,  10mg of Monacolin K but I am scared about taking them as I have tried to avoid statins, for many personal reasons and know these are basically the same.  The info online says it can cause liver damage in some people.

I just want to take it for a while to get them off my back but feeling it is a bad idea now.  I have not started yet, test is in 6 weeks.

Does anyone have any experience with this supplement?  All views are welcome.

Sorry this post seems to have been added twice!
