- 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:
Being concerned with my cholesterol, I decided to try taking this as indicated for 3 months (2 capsules in the morning, 2 more in the evening) and follow up with another lipid panel. I was upset to discover that my LDL cholesterol actually went UP significantly (+20-30 points) while taking this supplement. What a waste.

Comments about SYLVAN Traditional Supplements Red Yeast Rice:
First: My doctor (MD) and I worked together to get my genetically high cholesterol under control--with little dietary change, and minimal activity change. Second, my doctor wanted my LDL/HDL ratio to change and recommended that I try Red Yeast Rice. I tried at least 6 other brands of Red Yeast Rice over the next 2 months, all stating that there was no niacin in them and did not have "sunburn" skin feeling or flush feeling--they all lied--from grocery store brands to Health Food store brands, and I almost gave up finding a Red Yeast Rice Product that I could tolerate, until a GNC store employee told me I could try the Traditional Supplements, Sylvan Bio, Inc. product for 7 days and if it caused any problems or side effects, I could return it for 100% refund. I never returned it. 2-600 MG capsules a day in the a.m. with breakfast, and I have seen a dramatic improvement in my HDL/LDL ratio with minimal dietary and exercise change. Best over-the-counter cholesterol medication to maintain a healthy LDL Cholesterol Level that I have used and do now continue to use. FYI, the label is changing a little to more of a red color than the brown and blue. I find the same product inside, same great results regardless of the new or old bottle. Great shelf life at home. I notice that this product is produced and bottled in the U.S.A.
