To all you statin folks: Red Yeast Rice is the all-natural source of statins, and the supplement that Big Pharma tried to have banned because it didn't want anybody to be able to buy a very inexpensive statin. This was the source that Big Pharma analyzed to get into the whole statin synthesis biz. It works. My old MD had his nurse call me after I turned him onto it. He had her tell me that he'd never doubt me again. It cut my trigs in half, at 105, and my total chol down to 110. I've been taking it in alternation with Niacin for the last fifteen years, or so. Zero side effects. I still climb trees for a living, at 65. I'm vegan, as well.
110 sounds like a very very dangerous low level. https://www.healthline.com/health/cholesterol-can-it-be-too-low
Another alternative for those who fear cholesterol and take statins, policosonal is a good alternative.
Our body needs cholesterol and for sure our brains.
