Re: Red Yeast Rice, an Alternative to Prescription Statins?
Is red rice yeast a safe and effective natural alternative to statins? The answer is maybe. But there is no guarantee of consistency between brands and batches. It seems risky tome.
The USDA ruled in 1999 that RYR contained a natural version of lovostatin, a regulated substance, and required that red rice yeast suppliers remove it in manufacturing. Tests on products sold in 2009 "contained monacolin K (the naturally-occurring form of lovastatin), as well as eight other monacolins (statins or statin-like substances).
