Hi, I read with interest about your cholesterol. I have taken Red Rice Yeast for probably 4 or 5 years and it has totally controlled my levels, which at one time were in the 300's. I exercise, eat right and believe this natural way of lowering numbers without side effects.I'm in my 60's and cholesterol runs high in my family. My doctor approves as it works. My levels are down to normal. I started out with 4 pills and now can take 2 a day. I get the best source of it from Thornes Research. MarianneView Thread
