Gary Brecka made a sponsored post on instragram for Velorawellness.co where he claims that Red Yeast Rice extract (standardized for monacolin K) can be as effective as Rosuvastatin to reduce cholesterol (due to its monacolin K content, which he claims should be paired with other substances like citrus bergamot olive leaf, soursop, garlic and black pepper), without risking the well-known side effects of Rosuvastatin. He says it must be taken in liquid form because these compounds don’t absorb well in capsules. I haven’t investigated those claims and am not a medical expert, but below is the link to the Red Yeast Rice extract he sponsored in the post. This is NOT medical advice. Do your own research and ask your doctor if this is a thing.
