Lane, I've been trying Red Yeast now for 9 months
and thought I would tell you that my endo was surprized to see my LDLs go way down and HDLs went way up. there was a 30% swing in both and I'm pretty scientific in my trials and can say with high confidence, I will continue to use this product to naturally maintain good cholesterol.
My wife did some research and determined Red Yeast Rice and COQ10 combo is what works and that it's the same stuff that's in popular pharma meds like Lipitor...
Good luck!
