Warnings and important information
- Always read the label and follow the directions for use.
- If taking prescription medication or are pregnant/breastfeeding, please consult your healthcare professional for advice before supplementing with red rice powder.
- Monitoring is advised when taking red rice with cholesterol lowering medications (statins) as effects may be additive.
- Because red rice yeast extract delivers a natural mix of statin-like molecules rather than a single type of isolated molecule, it is much less likely to cause the side effects that sometimes occur with the pharmaceutical versions.
- Consider taking a CoQ10 supplement when using red yeast rice, as Monacolins can produce statin-like results, which may deplete CoQ10 levels.
- This product is sold as a food only.
- For specific conditions, please consult your healthcare professional.
Suitable for
Suitable for adults seeking nutritional support. People who are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking prescription medicines, or with chronic health conditions should speak with their doctor, midwife or pharmacist before use.
