THORNE Red Yeast Rice, 900 mg per Capsule, 120 Capsules | Supports Healthy Cholesterol Levels Already in a Normal Range & Heart Health*, Gluten & Dairy-Free, Third-Party Certified

I have taken the product for years and it has brought my cholesterol down by about 50 points. I take 3 capsules at bedtime. My doctor put me on Crestor but I got joint pain with it. Of course you need to still eat a healthy diet but in combination with a low fat/saturated fat diet with plenty of fiber, this does the trick.

I love this brand of supplements. It was recommended to me by my primary care doctor / naturopath. I originally started taking this brand’s Ferrasorb (iron supplement) to boost my iron and after 3 months and a new blood test my iron count is back on track. I started taking the Chloeast-900 about 3 months ago. I take 2 in the morning and 2 at night along with Jarrow Formula’s Q-Absorb mid day per recommendation of my doctor to lower my cholesterol. They are easy to swallow and have clean ingredients. I have yet to take my new blood test yet, but I am feeling pretty hopeful since high cholesterol runs in my family. I will update this review when I get the results back. It is a bit pricey to keep up with; however, it is great quality with high quality ingredients and a trusted brand. It also beats going on a pharmaceutical.

I’ve tried many different brands of red rice yeast, and I have to say this is the only brand that has really successfully lowered my cholesterol. For instance, I stopped using it and then started it again and within just a few weeks it was lowered by 20 points during the retest.

I started taking this Red Yeast Rice in November and in less than 3 months I got the results I wanted but didn’t think possible. I’ve been out of the normal range since 2019 and a year ago I had a total cholesterol number of 244 (high), LDL of 157 (borderline high - close to High), HDL and Triglycerides were normal. My doctor wanted to put me on an statin but I refused. I eat pretty healthy, increased my fiber, eat less red meat and more fish. I’ve been taking 2 pills/daily for the 3 months and as of yesterday my cholesterol is normal at 185 and my LDL is normal at 86. What an amazing drop!! I’m going to continue with 2 pills till my next test and then possibly drop down to 1 to see how it affects my numbers. If you’re on a statin get off of it and get this brand of Red Yeast Rice. I would scream it from the roof top if I could!!

For the first time ever, my cholesterol numbers were where they needed to be! I’ve been using this product for a couple of months & am excited to see results this soon. I have also adjusted my diet (as best I can). But I do attribute the lower numbers to adding this supplement.

I have been taking Thorne Choleast 900 for six months. Before I started it, my cholesterol was 266. Six months later it is 241. My triglycerides were 174 and they are now 124. I have not change my diet or exercise routine. I plan to keep using and see what my levels are 6 months from now. I struggle with the side effects of statins, so I hope this continues to help me.

Along with a healthier diet it helped me to make huge progress on my cholesterol goals within 30 days. I did not experience any digestive issues or notable side-effects. Evidently a high-quality brand with effective ingredients that is a good value for the money.

I won't know until I get my cholesterol tested, but Thorne had never let me down on the other products I take of theirs.
