Red yeast rice: video

EmailEmailPrintPrint

Please watch this Discovery Health video on Red Yeast Rice.

I only caution you that the physician mentions that there are no side effects of taking red yeast rice.  The FDA in the United States has no safety profile on this nutritional supplement. We do not really know what side effects it could have, but we do know it is very similar to a statin medication.

Please see additional articles at the end of the page for more information on safety.
