Common Questions
Why is standardisation important?
Red yeast rice supplements can vary considerably in their monacolin K content. Choosing a product with a declared, standardised amount helps provide greater consistency and quality.
Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Managing cholesterol involves more than taking a supplement. A heart-healthy diet, maintaining a healthy weight, regular physical activity, avoiding smoking and controlling blood pressure all contribute to cardiovascular health.
Although red yeast rice contains naturally occurring monacolin K, it has pharmacological activity similar to a statin medicine. Some people may experience similar side effects or medicine interactions. If you have raised cholesterol, established cardiovascular disease or are taking prescription medicines, discuss any supplement with your GP or pharmacist before starting treatment.
