Red Yeast Rice Lowered My LDL Cholesterol By 35% | Empowering Midlife Wellness

Today I'm talking about a fascinating supplement that really walks the line between being a supplement and a drug, since it has remarkable efficacy for lowering LDL cholesterol and ApoB. Red yeast rice contains small amounts of monacolin K, which in fact is a statin. Although this supplement is safe if it comes from a reputable manufacturer, I will talk about why it's very important to be monitored by a physician and follow the same guidelines that you would use if you were taking a prescription statin. I'll talk about the pros and cons of red yeast rice, the dosing, potential side effects, and why you may (or may not) choose to take this over a prescription statin.
