Diet and exercise: accounts for 15-20% of your cholesterol lab values so they help but sometimes not enough. Red Yeast Rice is a natural supplement (from a fungus that grows on rice). It dramatically lowers your LDL. Your doc may or may not know about it or have accurate info. Side effects are rare compared to pharmaceutical statin drugs. Peace and good health. Check w/doc first.
