I stopped the statin and took red yeast rice. My numbers looked good and my doctor said he liked that supplement!
That is great-I know people who take the red yeast rice with good results. I’m not into cholesterol; numbers or any of that-I manage me and the only carbs I consume are the occasional potato I bake myself, brown rice or in winter a slice of bread I bake from stone ground 7 grain or rye flour or a homemade corn tortilla-I avoid processed foods, margarine, etc. My guy told me before he went natural, a doc told him not to eat shrimp because of cholesterol-he dropped docs, processed foods and drugs right then-he’s been great ever since.
Most of the people I know-myself included-use an L-Arginine Alpha lipoic supplement like NO2 or one of the other brands it was originally developed as a workout supplement because it is a vasodialator that increases stamina so you can build more muscle mass, but later medical studies showed it has other cardiovascular benefits as well-and helps you maintain a healthy weight and energy level for exercise. With a high metabolism, I’ve never had a weight problem, but I’ve been using it for nearly a year and have improved my workday and workouts-you might check it out if you’re so inclined.
I tried statins, but I did not like side effects.
What is the red yeast rice.
