My PA put me on Red Yeast Rice, two 600mg capsules twice a day about three months ago and when they checked the LDL level last week it had dropped from 158 to 110. Sure made me a happy camper as my system can no longer tolerate Zocor and other related drugs. He also has me taking Niaspan and fish oil. Anyway, it works for me. As I told them, I value my quality of life over what those commercial anti-cholesterol drugs do to my back, legs, and feet.
