I've been dealing with high LDL since a few years. I felt the need to take control of my health. I didn't even know about the cholesterol lingo. Thanks to Google, I now understand my cholesterol levels. Plus that chicken looks yummy! Do you think that cranberries work the same way?

Please take a look at this link (below). It describes the red yeast rice production process:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_yeast_rice

However, it’s important to note that red yeast rice supplements are quite different than the traditional food form. For cholesterol lowering purposes, a reputable RYR supplement would likely be more effective and practical.

I was just reading up on red yeast rice. I think it's a real shame that the pharmaceutical companies put all the pressure on the natural supplement people in order to keep them from selling their red yeast rice supplements. Just because it has a chemical sort of like lovastatin... Again, very nice post. Very informative post. I was just reading up on red yeast rice.

RYR has become quite popular as a natural means of lowering cholesterol. This article explains the similar modality of RYR to common statin drugs. Most importantly, we should all be aware of possible similar side effects and the value of supplementing with a good quality CoQ10. RYR is an excellent choice when monitored through a physician's care. Excellent article! RYR has become quite popular as a natural means of lowering cholesterol.
