I subscribed and found out good red yeast supplements, but will not list them here, because this company spends time, and you should pay them like $3 a month to get that info. Honorable work to do.
Good vid, I wish you would have gone over what brands had the most and which had the least.
Then how are they going to pay their employees and themselves for that work?
@@arrrryyy oh I don't know.... Maybe from the thousands of paying subscribers that they have? Every now and then it's good to get something for free. Even I as a salesman know that. I give free stuff to clients (potential clients) every once in a while. It hurts no one and may even build repor with potential customers.
A useless video because of that! What a waste!

which one the best please
Red yeast rice for the last three months was enough to lower my cholesterol level substantially. Just lowered the dose and I’ll see what my blood test in six months shows.
what brand did you buy?
I’ve taken one of these products and it lowered my cholesterol . best subscribe and read the results and print out ok as member .
I order my stuff from India it contains 3% Monacolin K to every 500mg of Red Yeast Rice....Good stuff!
What is the name of the product that you purchase? And where do you get it from?
I waited for a brand that would be best and it never came...thanks anyway.
The problem I have had with red rice yeast is that it raises my fasting blood sugar level substantially. It raises my sugar level by 100 points. I felt so hopeful but now I am not at all happy.
Exercise may help you.
How?!
Because exercise lowers your blood sugars that why. I drop blood sugar readings massively when I exercise
that is a key point that red yeast rice contains multiple statins rather than a single one as in lovastatin as biomatrix in plants may be a key factor for being safe. Worth serious investigation.
The only thing that lowered my cholesterol to good number was the cholesterol off complete and the omega 3 even that i dont do diet a all
Is that Cholesteroff Complete? its something to think about.Thanks.
I’m 53 with with healthy body weight, but vet high cholesterol. I can’t take any statins, or red yeast rice because of severe muscle pain that are caused by those statins no matter what brand or how low the statins dose subscribed. What am I to do to prevent heart disease caused by my high cholesterol?
Omg 😢 do u have diabetes
Look up vitamin k2mk7 and vitamin D3 the k2mk7 takes out the calcium from the arteries and put it into bones and teeth
Check out Doctor berg
Niacin, bile salts, AMLA, nattokinase, plant based diet, cardio exercise
What's "Very high cholesterol", 200, 500, 700?
Overall synopsis and no recommendations. That makes it look like ConsumerLab advert.
Duh. It is an ad. Do you actually think they will give you the info without paying for it?
I paid also and well worth the money .
Is the impact of the lovastatin of the RYR the same on the liver as a Rx?
he said no...would be less.
Awesome. Thank you.
CHOLESTENE was so effective (no side effects) that I don't need medication
want to find good red yeast extract, just pay this company $3 and find out. Instead of coming here spending hours to chat or watching videos.
Very informative! Thanks
You're welcome. Glad to help.
actually very informative
Thanks for the video
Thanks for sharing.
Have you tested Solgar’s Red Yeast Rice
Interesting, thanks.
informative, but not what the viewer expects. To point which one has more or less drug
good review
Did not list best ones
Very nice video
I use Sundown Red Yeast Rice. How much Lovastatin is in 600 mg. of this Sundown product?
they didn't test that one.
HPF Cholestene was the top one that actually contained a decent amount and that was 5 years ago so who knows today

That’s the product I take as well. I take routine the dose and it seems to drive my LDL down by quite a bit.
The best way to check if the supplement actually works is to maintain a constant diet for a few weeks and then test LDL and ApoB levels without the supplement and then weeks later, keep misnaming the same eating pattern/diet and retest but this time while you’ve been on the supplement for at least 3-6 weeks.
That way you have the best confirmation to see if the supplement still works. If it does still works and have the amount if active ingredients consumer labs found out five years ago, then it should be reflected in your LDL dropping in the bloodwork. But it’s important to keep dietary pattern consistent with as many variables as you can during this time to get the most accurate gauge that you can get.
So you end up paying more for a naturally occurring (possible efficacious dose) than for a standard dose? If taking a statin is not a great idea why take either this or the drug?
Statins are statins they can still have side effects, but it's better to get it naturally, not as a drug. There are numerous studies confirming that red yeast extract have minuscule side effects compared to commercial prescription statins. It's like if you get a tobacco leave, dry it out and smoke, you still are getting nicotine, but if you smoke the cigarette with chemicals, with paper, etc, then it's much worse.
I'm wondering if I tell you which red yeast rice i taking could you tell me if it has enough statin to help lower my cholesterol? Very informative video. I could chat via messenger.
The statin I use also has COQ10 in it.
I have fibromyalgia n trying to take statin drug literally made my muscles ache way to much, so I stopped it.
@@arrrryyy
Just because it is natural doesn’t make it better or safer. That’s the appeal to nature fallacy at work.
Statins have a very low side effect profile and are proven time and time again to be very safe and effective.
Statins are one of the most researched drugs ever and the newer generation ones are very safe. Only a few percent get minor side effects such as muscle cramping which goes away with lowering the dose or stopping it, or doing a combo therapy.
In fact, most cholesterol supplements are more risky because they either are 1) contaminated, 2) have not proven to have the active ingredients needed to be effective, thus 3) it may not work. For one or all three of these reasons.
Even if the supplements isn’t contaminated, if it’s not working due to low amount of active ingredients, then guess what? You increase your risk because your LDL remains high because the supplement isn’t doing what it says it is meant to do and so you’re at high risk due to having higher LDL.
Drugs are put through strict quality control tests and measures and we know the side effect profile and effectiveness. With supplements, not really.
Most people would be better off taking a statin. It is safer, and way cheaper. They just need to get off of the fear porn pedals by the supplement natural snake oil industry that constantly uses the appeal to nature fallacy to say all drugs are bad.
Many natural things can kill you slowly and very fast.
Can one buy the actual RED RICE that is FERMENTED by this YEAST?
Yes. I don't know why no one has answered you sooner. I considered going to an Asian market to get the red rice, but someone told me to get the pills. I don't have to worry about cooking just taking the pills.
@@CL_G I do consume red rice among other kinds. Does that mean I'm automatically eating the yeast that is associated with this rice?
@@jakobw135 This is from the Mount Sinai: "Is there yeast in red rice?
Red yeast rice, also called Went Yeast, has been used for centuries in China as both food and medicine. It is made by fermenting a type of yeast called Monascus purpureus over red rice. In Chinese medicine, red yeast rice is used to lower cholesterol, improve blood circulation, and improve digestion."
Good luck
I want the government out of my kitchen as much as out of my bedroom.
I used Cholestene for a week and just gave up on it because of all the side effects and the potential to damage my liver.
seriously? LMAO
Don't give up. I did that too, tried to lower my cholesterol without any statins, and my LDL went from 130 in 2013 to 170 in 2018. My total cholesterol was 270 when I gave in and checked after 5 years!. But my good cholesterol (HDL) was high, 85, and my trigycerides low, 34. So At least that aspect of the numbers was good. Still. I get some very noticeable chest pressure daily but not during exercise. I take fish oil and "flush" niacin. That's why the triglycerides are kept low and the HDL was high. Still, I want to get my LDL down, so I've reintroduced RYR into my supplementation. It does cause me more aches and pain but I'm going to stick with it to achieve my heart health goal. That plus eating the Mediterranean diet.
Maybe use less and see if it still helps. Read my post above on the study of RYR and Mediterranean style diets. Very interesting.
@@kathrynmcmorrow7170 What does the pressure in the chest have to do? Don t think that if you have high cholesterol will be come a imminent heart attack you need to have another risk factors ,
If you have high cholesterol in one time you should check every 6 months .take care
@@mottosierra1372 Yeah, I had a cardio stress test and complete work up about 5 years ago. They didn't show any significant coronary blockages, but my heart still gets infrequent attacks of angina now and then, but since I did my homework on what's good for that, and take the supplements regularly, I can usually quell any symptoms promptly within an hour. Salvia mitzorrhazia and RYR seem to both have good effects on my heart function and just the way it feels, i.e. undetected beating! These are like a magic bullet to ward off chest constriction. However, cholesterol is not even elevated in half of all persons who suffer heart attacks. I take RYR now because it is said to reduce inflammation. I notice too that capsaicin promotes good circulation and cocoa helps endothelial resiliency. And beyond prescriptions, laughter is the best medicine.
