You are correct; Red Yeast Rice is a "unregulated" statin, OTC. I take CVS brand, 1200 mg which is about half of the recommended dose on the bottle. My latest lipid profile was perfect. I have no side effects at all. My cardiologist has no problems with what I am taking. I also take a garlic tablet once a day. I would never tell anyone what to do for their condition, but this works for me.
