Great Help lowering cholesterol
Was suggested by my dr to use since statins did not change any of my cholesterol numbers. After three months, I had a significant positive change for the better. Waiting for the six month follow up.

Love it, but have a Adverse Reaction
I Love this Red Yeast Rice and it has helped lower my Cholesterol to All Normal Readings along with my Ezetimibe.But is it normal to have some bowel cramping and loose stools when taking it???? I know the Red Yeast Rice is the cause, because these symptoms go away when I have stopped the Red Yeast Rice several times?.. That is the Only side effect?. I do have an Allergy to horses and wonder if it is my reaction to the Gelatin Capsules?? What is your opinion??

Red Yeast Rice has Worked for Me
Ive changed my diet a little but I also started taking this supplement daily. WIthin a few months my cholesterol dropped nearly 75 points and the majority of the drop was from the bad cholesterol. Im a believer until proven otherwise. Will keep taking this product.

  The same thing happened with my last bottle of red yeast rice. I didn't think anything of it and I am using the product. Seems to be the same under the clear capsule.

Thanks Karen..
