- Health Notes
-
Red Yeast Rice
Red Yeast Rice- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.

Comments about SYLVAN Traditional Supplements Red Yeast Rice:
I ordered this product because it touts helping to lower cholesterol. I had been taking a statin for several years and I noticed my short-term memory and recall seeming to be "fuzzy". After reading that this can be a side effect of taking a statin, and talking with my doctor, I decided to go natural and try the red yeast rice. I have not had my cholesterol checked since beginning the red yeast rice. Let you know the results when I do..... Hence the average rating because I don't have the data yet.
