You can buy this at health food stores.

As with other Statin drugs you need tro watch the intake of certain foods. Grapefruit is one that comes to mind.

This stuff is for real. The drug companies are trying to get it off the market because it works better than their stuff. The Mayo Clinic gives it an "A":

My ex went to the doctor (a regular western doctor) and he said her cholesterol was high and told her to take fish oil pills (Costco) and Red Rice Yeast (2 600 mg pills once a day at bedtime).
