Nature's Bounty Red Yeast Rice, 600 mg, 60 Capsules Review

I am under medical supervision while taking this supplement and you probably should only take this under medical supervision. The side effects are the same as for statins and your Liver levels need to be tested.
Previous to starting red yeast rice, my cholesterol was 221 with triglycerides of 88, HDL of 73 and LDL of 141.
After 2 months of taking this product, my numbers are total cholesterol of 194, triglycerides of 69, HDL of 76, and LDL of 115. I've always had good tri's and HDL, but the LDL has been a real problem for me. I'm taking 2 tablets per day - one at breakfast and one at dinner.
Previously on Lipitor, my HDL also was lowered along with my LDL - so I was not too happy with it.
I'm pretty pleased with the results and hope the FDA does not throw a wrinkle into this supplement. You will notice all kinds of info about what happened to the original formulation of Cholestin if you search for it on the Internet. I can treat my cholesterol for under $50 per year when there is a 2 for 1 sale, and that makes me happy.

Weider Red Yeast Rice Plus with Phytosterols 1200 mg per 2 Tablets - 180 Tablets Review

On a recommendation from doctor, I started taking this supplement. She recommended both the Red Yeast Rice and the Phytosterols so I loved getting them both together. She gave me 6 months to lower my numbers or she wanted to put me on meds. I just had a new test done this week. My cholesterol went from 263 to 196 - in the normal range! My triglycerides went from 277 to 173 - still slightly higher but a drop of over 100 points. My HDL dropped and the LDL increased. I still have more HDL (the bad stuff) than I should, but my cholesterol/HDL ration is on the edge of normal range at 5. While I've also been trying to eat better, I ate pretty healthy before so only minor changes to the diet. I have not dropped any major weight in that time so the only major change was these pills. I will continue to take them and see if my numbers are even better in another 6 months!
