I purchased Healthwise Koji8 Red Yeast Rice 150g. It is a 8:1 extract, serving suggestion is 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon or 625mg-1250mg.

I will review the product here, I will try it for 1 month, I will record my cholesterol level before taking it, again 2 weeks in and then after 4 weeks.

I took a blood test on 16/02/25, TC 134, TG 136, HDL 35, LDL 71 before taking any RYR. I've taken a little bit over the past week and will get another test done before then end of the week because I need blood drawn for a liver function test (unrelated) and I read RYR can elevate liver enzymes so I'm not taking too much right now, I will start taking more after the test.

As can be seen, I have low HDL, TC is good, TG seems to be elevated, LDL is below average but still too high (reference link at end), I'm looking to raise my HDL, lower LDL and lower TG and I expect RYR will do that.
