Read More . . . RED YEAST RICE CAPSULES NATURAL SAFE STATIN Chinese red yeast rice is a source of mevinolin, a natural phytochemical indistinguishable from the synthetic drug, Lovastatin. Lovastatin has been sold by Merck as the prescription drug Mevacor since 1987. Chinese red yeast rice with mevinolin may protect against high triglyceride and LDL levels by inhibiting the biosynthesis of cholesterol. This benefit goes significantly beyond the management of dietary fats and oils, by providing moderation of the body's production of cholesterol. In addition, Chinese red yeast rice contains other natural phytochemicals, such as betasitosterol, stigmasterol, isoflavones, and monounsaturated fatty acids which provide greater cholesterol reducing activity than Lovastatin therapy alone. Note: statin drugs are isolated and more concentrated than natural statins like red yeast rice. However, to be certain, and to benefit cardiovascular and cholesterol health generally, we suggest adding 30mg CoQ10 to your supplemental diet. STUDIES SHOW THAT THE UNNATURAL STATINS INHIBIT COENZYME Q 10 AND ARE TOXIC TO THE LIVER Chinese red yeast rice is the product of rice on which red yeast (Monascus purpureus) has been fermented. It is known to have been in dietary and medicinal use in China since the Tang Dynasty, during the 9th century A.D. Its uses include the production of rice wine, as a food preservative for fish and meat, and as a traditional medicine. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) characterizes Chinese red yeast rice as a benign, effective remedy which improves the circulation. A number of animal and human studies conducted in China since 1995 have found that Chinese red yeast rice consumption reduces blood cholesterol levels in a range of 11-32% and triglycerides 12-19%. A study conducted at UCLA and published in the February 1999 American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, found that test subjects who received 2400 mg daily of red yeast rice had a significant reduction of cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL cholesterol after 8 weeks of treatment, as compared to placebo. Researchers observed no adverse effects in test subjects and found no changes in liver and renal function tests, which were conducted before and after the study. This product provides 600 mg per capsule of red yeast rice. We prefer this dosage to the 750 mg dosage which can, like the unnatural statins, stress the liver.
