Guest guest Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 hello Lisa in the US, red yeast rice IS a STATIN. It is the same chemical make up as the first statin , mevacor, " discovered " by merck scientists. so if your mom is taking red yeast rice, she is taking a statin, albeit a less potent one, but a statin none the less. best of luck to your mom--at least think about using coenzyme Q10--all statins deplete the body of this essential element, as well as many other metabolic elements Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
