Lots of it. It has similar qualities to some statins, with the same side effects and cautions. Try Googling it.

We strongly recommend having a liver enzyme test (ALT/AST/SGPT) to establish a baseline before starting red yeast rice and then having the test repeated no more than six weeks after starting. Your physician or the lab can interpret the results.
