A few yrs ago i was put on zocor for high cholesterol.I went off it when my numbers went down.Well now yrs later i find out that my numbers are up again.When i was taking the zocor i had no side effects.What i would like to know is what would be the benifits of me using red yeast rice instead of the zocor?I am on a limited income,and if i went back on the zocor my insurance would pay for it.If i went on the red yeast rice ,i would have to pay for it out of pocket.Any replies are welcome.Thankyou.

Suzy,
For RYR info, read this thread...Lengthy, but very informative.
The RYR will cost you about 20-24USD for 60 days supply.

The advantages will become obvious on the above post Suzy.

Taffy its not the red yeast rice that so pricey,its the coq10 that you need to take with it.The higher the mgs go the higher the price goes.Thanks for the ifo where i can go to read up on what i asked.Take care.

You can get one of the best brands of Coenzyme Q10 for $28.61 (5 months supply).
Healthy Origins, CoQ10 Gels, 100 mg, 150 Softgel Capsules. (If you don't have any heart or muscle problems now, 100mg should suffice.)
