Forget to mention that red yeast rice can also remove calcium from arteries and can add calcium to bones. At least, this is what I’ve picked up on the web.

Red yeast rice has the same side effects as statins and quality can't be guaranteed. Be careful if you use it.

I have been in the natural combination of Red Yeast Rice+ Niacin Flush Free + GNC Omega 3-6-9. This has successfully controlled my Cholesterol level together with controlled diet. I heard several preconception about leg muscle pains & weakness.

I tried red yeast rice for a couple of months, but had the same side effects as a statin and also experienced fluid retention. I’m stopping it today to see if the muscle aches and fluid retention go away. Has anyone tried Bempedoic Acid? If so, has your insurance company covered it if you are statin intolerant?
