Red Yeast Rice
Although red yeast rice is used to lower LDL cholesterol levels (the bad cholesterol) and prevent heart diseases, the supplement is also believed to host a certain number of side effects. Studies show that the red yeast rice can have the same side effects as statins, including muscle, liver and kidney problems.
So after analyzing in the same time the benefits, as well as the risk of red yeast rice, scientists concluded that the supplement is not recommended for patients with hypercholesterolemia, and is certainly not a safe alternative for patients with hyperlipidemia. In conclusion, if you worry about your cholesterol, the best you can do is live a healthy and active life and check twice before taking any supplements.

Excellent information! Very helpful to know the impact of these supplements.
I take 10 grams of vitamin C whenever i go out. Thats 10,000 mg. it prevents me from catching the wuhan virus.
I’ve practiced this since March 2020. In the body vitamin C converts to hydrogen peroxide. When a molecule of virus enters my bloodstream it meets a tsunami of hydrogen peroxide and dies.
Wow
Unless very high doses of vit c are taken via IV treatment, u will never achieve the levels that u r casually refering to…. This is regardless of the amount of vitamin C u take orally. When taken orally the levels remain quite low. Stop spreading skewed information.
I take Krill oil (omega 3) and vitamin D. (esp. in winter) Don’t agree on those, the others yes.
