I have anecdotal for the Red Rice Yeast. I started taking it when my total cholesterol was 238 and within a month I was down to 175 without any dietary changes. I've changed the diet a little now so I'll be interested in the next test.

Pleased to see that my key supplements are all well above the line and I'm taking them for the reasons they say you should.
