Thanks for the report. According to my primary doc, red yeast rice extract would not be an option for me due to potential to exacerbate my lung and gastric issues. I am using a largely Mediterranean diet with lots of veggies and olive oil, very few grains and limited red meat. Waiting to have lipids retested in June.

Hello all, I've been taking Maximum Strength Plant Sterols from Swanson Health. The capsule contains phytosterols including beta-sitosterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, brassicasterol, and beta-sitostanol and has lowered cholesterol for both my husband and me. I also use a lot of olive oil, eat avocados and oatmeal as much as possible. Good luck!
