A member asked:
Is red yeast good for lowering bad cholesterol. then the statins that can harm u in the long run???
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lovastatin: The red rice yeast produces lovastatin naturally. Your decisions about cholesterol need to be made in conference with your physician. If a statin is right for you, it's your business whether you use a standardized dose of a synthetic or guess the content produced by a microbe. The safety record and health benefits of statins used appropriately seem pretty good. Be discerning.
