Red Yeast Rice Extract

[Guest guest]

........it states that in 2001, the unregulated nutritional supplement was

withdrawn by the FDA.........

 

You are absolutely correct about this. Technically, it's illegal to sell red

yeast rice extract in the U.S., although it has a proven track record of

effectively and naturally lowering cholesterol. I have no idea why it's still

available here, since stocking it is an open invitation for the FDA to come down

on your head. Dr Andrew Weil (a big supporter of red yeast rice) suggests that

you order the extract via a Canadian health food store or pharmacy, where it is

not banned.
