I just read that 'lovastatin' has been banned in the USA? If that is the case WHAT in the red yeast rice is lowering cholesterol?

I do not know, but my physician said that my cholesterol was in the high normal range and that I did not need a prescription and that this red yeast rice wouldf bring it down. However, he also said that I must also be on CoQ 10 as an added supplement. Something to do with chemicals in the brain. After being on these two supplements for about 6 months now, my cholesterol is now in the perfectly normal range. And, I am 66 years of age. He advises that I stay on these two supplements.

I take it for cholesterol, and so far it seems effective for that. I have lost some weight recently, but can't say it was because of the cactus, although I don't have any other explanation. I'm not trying to lose weight.

It says on the bottle Serving size 3 capsules a dayRed Yeast Rice -1,200 mg. per servingCoenzyme Q10 30mg. per servingSo imagine it means to get that amount in mgs. you would have to take 3 tab. a day (with meals preferably) I must admit I have not taken these faithfully. So can't say if it helps. I just went off my statin drug, because I heard so much bad about statins, so was going to take these. But keep forgetting to take them. Hope this answers your question.

No, I don't. I'm not selling it, it was recommended by Dr. Oz. I have it in our home and have had it through two gallons. I am not a doctor but my cholesterol is better and I'm just about off of insulin. I am using it to replace artery clogging cholesterol products and my blood tests are improving. I'm not a doctor, only a very satisfied user. No FDA but I've never seen one on my salad dressings either.

The packaging has changed since I purchased it in 2011, but it says palm oil. There is cholesterol, but not in dairy form. I would check on palm oil if you are on a restricted diet.

Elaine I have read the product label and it states that Red Yeast Rice is carefully produced to avoid the presence of citrinin, so if you can trust the label it does not have this in this product.

I'm out of it now. It's not indicated on Amazon but it is listed as gluten free at this link on vitacost. http://www.vitacost.com/now-foods-organic-red-yeast-rice-600-mg-120-veg-capsules

I just spent 10 minutes on their website and while it says they grow their nutritional yeast on beets and cane molasses, nowhere do they state that the beets or molasses is non-gmo. I would rather assume that they ARE using GMO products to grow their nutritional yeast - because if they were not, I believe they would say so. This is a company with many healthy products...so there is no reason not to list whether it's GMO or non-GMO. I won't buy it because they don't clarify enough for me.

Steve, I really don't know. But it isn't supposed to work as a cholesterol medicine. Metamucil effect over cholesterol should come with time. It's a side effect of eating fiber every day. For faster effects over your cholesterol, talk to your doctor so he can prescribe you something like Simvastatin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simvastatin .

I wish to avoid powdered milk products after what I read in _Real Food: What to Eat and Why_ by Nina Planck. She explains that dried milk is one of the biggest contributors of bad cholesterol in our diets, because of the oxidation of the fats. Anyone figure anything else out about the pectin?

I would check with the Cardioviva folks themselves. There have been some studies and presentations. Here's a link to an American Heart Association press release which I found on the Cardioviva site: http://www.mycardioviva.com/media/American-Heart-Association_Jones-Probiotics-Lower-LDL-NR-FINAL.PDF

40 mg of rice ceramides beat the 1 mg of sweet potatoes and the 200 to 350 mg of lipowheat in medical studies by third party doctors from germany and japan. also there were no side effects, unlike wheat which is gluten and many people are allergic to it and don't even know it! go with the rice you won't be disappointed. i know i am happy! When dr oz said 350mg he was referring to the weight of the capsule, the size of the dosage on the bottle he had said 350mg. all pills in phytoceramides are 350mg size dosage. what matters is the ingredient and the power it has in clinical studies and the 40mg rice wins. google it

I just checked one of my "back-up" cans in the garage and can't find that specific phrase anywhere. It's "Gluten Free" with "Zero Trans Fat!" "No Hydrogenated Oils!" "Zero Cholesterol!" etc., and is "Processed in a facility that also makes products containing eggs, soy, wheat, peanuts and tree nuts" but nowhere does it refer to kosher certification. Sorry! :-(

No problem. I took prescription Statin before and experienced ache all over my joint but feel fine just take Red Yeast Rice since it is lower than the lowest doze of statin. It is recommended by my cardiologist after I complained about the side effects that I had when I was taking Statin. Good luck!

I used this product along with red yeast rice capsules for 3 months, along with a strict mediteranian diet. This did not lower my LDL or HDL levels, so I am now on a statin. First blood test on statins next month. To answer your question the ingredients listed in Cardioviva are: Lactobacillius reuter, hypromelicose. gellan gum, microcrystalline cellulose, silicon dioxide, madnesium stearate.
