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.
