Re: bone loss, red yeast rice

[Guest guest]

Cheryl,

Not all strains of red yeast rice are the same. Red yeast rice contains

many different phytochemicals that have a variety of

health benefits. These include many kinds of isoflavones

and monacolins. Several of these phytochemicals

are bone active. Also, due to variations in the process of fermenting the yeast

on the rice, there are variations in the phytochemical

content, which result in different levels of bone activity for different

strains. Some strains of red yeast

rice are not bone active at all.

This is the one I use - http://tinyurl.com/gwlh - and it is $25.00

for 60 caps. I take 2 a day.

bone loss

Hi

team!

Hope

everyone is well and content. By the way, Happy Valentine's Day

to

all you sweet people! I have a

question about a post I read

regarding

Red Yeast Rice.

It

said there are 2 kinds of the rice; one for lowering cholesterol,

and

one for building bones. I talked to some sales reps at 3 health

food

stores and none of them had ever heard of the bone building

kind of

red yeast rice. I went to the website for the International

Bone

Laboratory and they offer the supplement for about $25 for a

month's

supply and claim it does lay down new bone.

However,

they do not say what is different from the other red yeast

rice

that makes it lay down new bone. Any thoughts out there?

Honestly,

I get discouraged with this endless process of digging for

the

truth about products. If I bought everything that was

recommended,

I'd be spending a couple hundred a month on

supplements!

Suzi – This is actually a pretty new supplement for

this company, so I haven’t been taking it very long – maybe a few

months, twice a day. So I won’t

know if it is helping until my next bone density scan, which won’t be for

several more months. But I will be

anxious to compare the before and after scans.

I’ve read a lot about this particular product and am very

impressed with the information.
