Please click on the Healing Heart Foundation website (link at the top of this page) for information on how to improve those numbers.

The active ingredient for red rice yeast is similar to most statins, such as Zocor. Side effects from the yeast can be similar to that of statin medications. It is always wise to discuss any supplements you take with your physician.

The flax seed oil may keep your numbers high. For those without heart disease, we do not recommend it. For maximum benefits of flax, freshly ground seed is better than the oil.
