Natural does not imply safe when it comes to red
yeast rice. Some red yeast rice products include
a component (monacolin K) that is chemically
equivalent to the main substance in lovastatin
(Altoprev), a cholesterol-lowering prescription
drug. Because of the variety in quality from
industry to industry, the quantity of monacolin K
might vary greatly from product to
product.   Products containing monacolin K can
have the same negative effects as lovastatin,
including muscle, kidney, and liver damage. The
Food and Drug Administration has declared that
multivitamins containing more than trace levels
of monacolin K are unauthorized medications and
cannot be supplied lawfully as dietary
supplements in the United States.   Dietary
supplements may not be sufficient. While dietary
supplements can assist, prescription drugs may be
required to get your cholesterol levels down to a
healthy range. If you take any kind of
nutritional supplement, make sure to notify your
doctor because some of them might mix with the
prescriptions you're taking.
