Maintaining healthy LDL cholesterol is crucial for heart health. While effective cholesterol management should include diet and lifestyle changes, such as a whole-foods diet tailored to individual needs and regular aerobic exercise, a high-quality dietary supplement like Thorne’s Red Yeast Rice provides extra support.*
Thorne’s Red Yeast Rice is formulated with Monascus purpureus, a red-pigmented yeast naturally produced on fermented rice. Numerous studies in both China and the U.S. show that red yeast rice supports cholesterol levels already within the normal range.*
The same enzymes involved in the synthesis of cholesterol are also involved in the synthesis of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). Thus, to help maintain normal levels of CoQ10, they recommend also supplementing daily with Thorne's CoQ10.
Benefits of Thorne’s Red Yeast Rice
- Delivers naturally occurring compounds found in red yeast rice to maintain cholesterol levels in the normal range*
- Contains beneficial compounds such as phytosterols (beta-sitosterol, campesterol, stigmasterol), isoflavones, and trace minerals, which all contribute to good cardiovascular health*

Read Yeast Rice to Lower Cholesterol
by Getting Fit Brit -
I'm using this to lower my choleterol - a registered dietician I know has been in studies and it worked. My brothers went from 230 to 164 - so I'm giving it a try, but it does take months to lower (and it's not like you can test it yourself to see if you've lowered your cholesterol in a month). So I'll go back for blood work in a few months to find out. Read yeast rice, higher fiber diet --

Nurse Practitioner recommends
by Herbal enthusiast
Recommend to my patients with high cholesterol. Take on a regular basis daily and it will definitely lower stubborn cholesterol. My cholesterol has decreased by 50. Walking and weight loss weren't enough, but this product did the trick.

My husband is taking this on his Dr's advice to keep his high Cholesteral down. He goes back next month to see how well it works. It's his Cardioligist that recommends it.

Works - as long as you exercise!
by Over 60 -
I've been taking this for a couple of years and as long as regular cardio exercise is part of my regime, it works. I brought my bad cholesterol down significantly and my doctor was impressed. However, when I don't get regular exercise it is not as effective.

So Far So Good
by Alison -
My cholesterol has slowly been creeping up and I'm determined to lower it without pharmaceuticals. I have not had my cholesterol checked since taking this product, but I can say I have not had any issues or upset stomach with it at all and have finished one bottle.

Woohooo, Fabulous Results!!!!
by Alison -
Follow-up from my previous review.
I've been taking this product for several months now & just received my first labs since taking this product. So happy! My total cholesterol dropped 21 points, triglycerides dropped 98 points,...in fact, every single cholesterol in my lipid panel dropped significantly! To be fair, I have also increased my cardio as well. But I am a customer of this product for life! I take 2 capsules at dinnertime daily.
