I've only been taking red yeast rice for 2 weeks at the request of my GP. I do not yet know how it is working. Hence, the vagueness of my ratings. I really wanted to read other feedback at this point.

After taking this for about 90 days, I suddenly got extreme bloody noses with huge amounts of blood lost, two visits to the ER. There were no warnings on the website I bought it from about thyroid and liver issues. My red cell levels dropped to 7 and I could barely walk, a trip to the bathroom affected me like a ten mile hike. I required two units of whole blood in order to bring my red cell count up to 11, should ideally be around 16. I stopped taking it since it was the only change I had made in supplements and my situation reversed thanks to God. Please use caution and when telling friends about it's successful use for you, make sure you tell them about the statin connection. I was taking one not the two 1200 mg tablets recommended, I truly believe I'd would not had a reversable condition had I been taking the dose per label. When it works, it's great, but when it doesn't it's life treatening.

I have been taking the Xymogen brand for almost 5 years. My diet has improved slightly and a bit more exercise. My cholesterol is averaging about 190 now. I feel it's safer than Lipitor, but not as effective. However, I would be hesitant to take Lipitor given the diabetes concerns.
