Arazo Nutrition Red Yeast Rice Extract 1200 MG – Citrinin Free Supplement – Vegetarian 120 Capsules

it brought my cholesterol and all that crap down a bit, but not enough - my doc wasn't pleased, so now i'm having to take statins - which i did NOT want to have to take, but i have no choice.these things probably would have done a much better job if i ate better foods, but oh well.they're worth a try - it's great they have no "citrinin" - that stuff is dangerous - best to always check labels, and make sure it says right ON the label; "no citrinin".it's still gonna have 'some', but probably not as much as brands which don't state clearly and on the label itself that it doesn't have any.watch for that.

The best product I ever used to lower my cholesterol

I do not like using prescription medicines so when I can get a chance I will go the natural route.I have been using this for quite awhile and on it's own I saw some improvement. Enough that it helps me to not have to increase the low dose cholesterol meds I am already on as well. Is it placebo? I am not sure but there does seem to have some benefit.I will continue to use this product for the time being. It is worth the cost for some peace of mind as well.

My blood pressure stays in the normal range

I had extensive open heart surgery in January of 2019. As you see from the chart, in September of that year my LDL was at 264 and both cardiologists I saw tried different statins all of which gave me severe cramps. Then after reading about all the ill effects of statins I decided to try a more natural approach.I started taking one clove of raw garlic everyday with my lunch and about five months later by early March 2020 the LDL had dropped 45 points to 219 which my cardiologist said was good but not enough. I then added this brand of Red Yeast Rice to my diet along with Ubiquinol CoQ10 while continuing to take the garlic. By the end of the year the LDL had dropped to 163 and my HDL was up some ten points.Yes, I know it took time but 'bad' cholesterol builds up very slowly and, I guess, also disappears slowly. However, here is the question. The LDL dropped 45 points BEFORE I started on the yeast capsules. So are the benefits from the raw garlic alone or a combination of the two? Since I do not have the answer I will continue both for another six months.Incidentally, I take the garlic with meals. It is fairly easy to swallow if you use a garlic press then wash it down with water. Not pleasant but beats the heck out of the statin cramps and other side effects. Considering this is not a 'prescription medication' on the days I simply feel like death itself would be preferable to swallowing any more garlic, I simply don't take it for a day or two or three.Also the only dairy I have is more often than not a piece of aged cheddar with an apple (not that nasty orange stuff sold in plastic bags that pretends to be cheese)

The color is darker than the first bottle I got. I was concerned also because the bottle was all squashed up like someone stepped on it but the pills were fine. So I hope I'll be alright. I'm going to start out by taking just 1 pill to see if I have any issues. If I do I'll do an addendum on my review.
