Red Yeast Rice Results
My nurse practitioner recommended I try taking RYR w/CoQ10 to help lower my LDL back in April 2024. My LDL hasn't been under 100 going back to 2016 according to the history of my blood tests. I got my blood drawn yesterday and just looked at my results. For the first time in my recorded results going back to 2016, my LDL was below 100 at 97. I was shocked. I was taking Thornes RYR w/CoQ10 and I was only taking one a day. At the same time I also started taking LEs Super Omega-3 Plus (4 pills a day). Now I've taken fish oil in the past and never really seen any changes in blood results, so I'm a believer this RYR did the trick. Now I did have some other numbers change, but here's the changes below after taking RYR for 3 months, 1 pill a day.
