@bluesky7070 Yes, I take 2,400 mg of RYR daily. Two capsules int he morning and two at night. I’m consistently at about 180 total cholesterol. RYR does act like a statin, so if you stop using it, it will to back to the ‘normal’ range (which in my case is higher than my doc wants!). I would try the diet and exercise first and then to the RYR. If you do both, then you won’t know which one made the improvement.
Thanks for your video. I have not started any medication of supplement as of today. Your level is within the range. Are you still taking RYR? My doctor wanted me to increase my exercise and change my diet for the next three months. I will have my blood test then. In the meantime, I am considering taking RYR. My question is once the level reaches within the normal range, do I have to take it continuously?
What is your RYR intake now? Once agian, thank you for your data. It is very helpful.
As an alternitave to Statin drugs and their dangerous side effects , I use regular Niacin myself to manage my cholesterol and I’ve had good results. I was told by my Doctor ( who is more into herbal treatment ) that No Flus Niacin is garbage and many people are falling for it because they think they can get all the goodness of regular Niacin without the annoying flushing and itching that regular Niacin is famous for and it’s just not so. She said the flush means it’s working 🙂
oh cool, im using the traditional sylvan products brand. The capsules are kinda big though. My doctor said my cholesterol wasn’t high enough yet to be elligible for the statins hence the RYR was best option for me. It would be stupid to just wait till my cholesterol rises enough until Im eligible for a statin. May as well get it at its early stages.
Ok then, I will try dieting and exercising for the next three months. After taking the Blood test, I will mention RYR to my doctor, if it is needed.
Thank you very much for your quick response.
180 is pretty good. Keep it up. I will post my progress. Bye now!

Thanks! Sorry about the sound; I’ll have to get a better microphone and re-record.
I like the Weider brand from Costco, but I also use the Sundown brand as well since they have it at my local Publix supermarket.
interesting, I take red yeast rice too because I have moderate cholesterol problems(215). I take 2,400mg a day. What brand do you take?
the sound quality isnt that great however i enjoyed watching it.
