Question:

WebMD.com What are benefits of Red Yeast Rice capsules?

Would red yeast rice capsules be a substitute for a statin drug in controlling cholesterol. If so, how much red yeast rice would be beneficial. I currently take 10 mg. of Lipitor per day. I have read that the yeast should not be taken with a statin. No reason given. Thank you.


Answers:

Statins are made from red yeast rice. If you would take both it and Lipitor , you would be over dosing.
Check this site out that is by a doctor. He talks about side effects of all statins and red yeast rice.
