Natural Statins?

Natural Statins?

September 16th, 2007 by JoeDuck

It is now well established that high cholesterol is highly associated with increased risk of heart disease. Also, it's well established that statin drugs reduce cholesterol. Most doctors now believe that cholesterol reduction by statins is an important approach if you fail to reduce cholesterol through diet and lifestyle changes.

If you are on a budget you might want to consider a natural alternative to prescription statins - red rice yeast extract which is a natural statin source. Dr. Andrew Weil notes some of the challenges to getting this product which clashed with FDA over patent issues because red rice yeast contains lovostatin.

Weil notes online: Of all the natural supplements available to help lower cholesterol, red rice yeast extracts are by far the most effective.

Lipitor

Lipitor, Atorvastatin, is in the group of cholesterol lowering drugs called "statins". Lipitor is an extremely popular medication.
