Guest guest Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 http://www.umm.edu/altmed/ConsSupplements/RedYeastRicecs.html this link explains what it is. WE get it in health food stores but it can be ordered on line. My mothers cholesterol dropped 25 points in one month and her triglycerides dropped in half. Her cholesterol was over 300 and her triglycerides were through the roof and have been for a long time. Allyn ------------------------------------ PRIORITY INVESTMENTS N' KOLLATERAL,INC.

Rita Can KT increase your Bad Cholesterol I had a blood test recently and my bad Cholesterol is up from last year I'm trying to avoid taking any more meds but can't think what else could make it rise. I know there are many factors that can but don't fit into those. Has anyone noticed the same effect or have a plausable reason why KT would not do this. Don't want to stop drinking it altogether. I was drinking about 500 mls per day but have cut back a bit. Thank you KT members for being here :-) Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Jo, sounds good. Also-- you could easily bump your C intake to 2000mg or more a day and be happy. Suggest increasing it in 500mg increments, and taking at least 2 and preferably 3 divided doses. I'm using calcium ascorbate, a buffered form that contains calcium-- easy on the stomach and you get the bonus calcium And I want to reiterate that your number just doesn't sound that scary, *AND* the whole cholesterol number thing is very much in debate as to the meaning. You're allowed to say, I take the risk of not medicating this thing that people no longer agree is actually itself a health risk.
