This just in from The Heart.org http://www.theheart.org/article/1041681.do

Quote:
After 12 weeks of treatment, red yeast rice reduced LDL-cholesterol levels 30% from baseline, from 181 mg/dL to 126 mg/dL, while pravastatin reduced LDL-cholesterol levels 27%, a nonstatistical difference between treatments. Similarly, there were no significant differences observed in changes in total cholesterol, triglycerides, or HDL-cholesterol levels.


Check out the full article. A cardiologist tipped me off to this natural product.

Very cool.

Seems like I heard somewhere that red yeast rice was under attack (as Big Pharma periodically tries to wipe out any natural supplement or remedy that advertises itself as actually working). Hope it doesn't get pulled.
