Six capsules provide a daily intake of 10 mg of monacolin K from red yeast rice, if the exact equivalent to monacolin K alone is required. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, red rice yeast also contains other monacolins and phytosterols which, along with your diet, will also influence your cholesterol intake. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn our Napiers Clinics, we recommend a daily intake of 3 capsules a day when you are trying to bring cholesterol down. Once your cholesterol is lowered, one capsule a day can be taken as a daily maintenance supplement in conjunction with a low cholesterol diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResearch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRed rice yeast has so much robust clinical evidence behind it supporting what we already know empirically\u003csup\u003e1, 2, 3, 4\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e- that in the majority of cases it effectively lowers cholesterol and spares people the side effects of muscle pain and weakness. These are the side effects that a lot of people suffer from when they consult herbalists about changing over from statins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePolicosanol also has some rigorous clinical evidence behind it as well\u003csup\u003e5\u003c\/sup\u003e. Like Red rice yeast, policosanol is also tolerated better than some statins, like for example atorvastsatin\u003csup\u003e5\u003c\/sup\u003e. Unfortunately many people find it difficult to reduce cholesterol through diet alone and there is evidence that a red rice yeast\/policosanol supplements like Lowerol will help to reduce cholesterol better than relying on diet changes alone\u003csup\u003e6\u003c\/sup\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSafety is always of fundamental importance and history of tradition, although indicative, is not always 100% reliable so it is of significant importance that red rice yeast has shown to be safe in so many clinical trials\u003csup\u003e7\u003c\/sup\u003e, even in children and the elderly\u003csup\u003e8\u003c\/sup\u003e.
