All these medication have contraindications and extensive dosage can have side effects, plus most of them can affect your liver. Because of these factors, more and more people choose natural products than standard medication in their attempt to control the cholesterol. From all the natural supplements available on the market, Red yeast rice is probably the best in lowering the cholesterol.
Red yeast rice is widely used in Asia as a spice and to threat different health conditions, and the most important one is its ability to reduce the cholesterol. The supplement is so good in reducing cholesterol because, through the fermentation process, a specific substance is produced, a substance than is similar with the statin found on most cholesterol prescription drugs available on the market.
If you have high cholesterol then definitely your doctor will prescribe statin drugs that will lower your cholesterol. These drugs can block the liver production of a certain enzyme that creates cholesterol. Since Red Yeast rice is made only from natural ingredients, there are almost no side effects, as long as you don’t exceed the recommended dosage. The UCLA conducted a study that demonstrated this theory. All 79 people that took red years rice supplements experienced a reduction of their triglyceride levels after three months. Another study, made in China, reached the same conclusion.
All doctors recommend never using red yeast rice in combination with statins, since both products do the same thing.
