Chinese red yeast rice<\/strong>, which is well known for its medicinal properties, contain a compound, called lovastatin,<\/strong> which researchers believe can help lower lipid level.<\/strong> To support their belief, these researchers studied about 9625 participants and did about 93 randomized trials. Moreover, they also tested three RYR preparations Cholestin, Zuezhikang and Zhibituo.<\/p>\n

The Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>

\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n

Whereas RYR helped in bringing down triglycerides and LDL-cholesterol levels<\/strong>, it helped in raising the level of HDL-cholesterol<\/strong> too.<\/p>\n

However, it would be too early to comment on this finding because by now researchers are not very sure about their finding and they stress on the need of further study to come up with conclusions that are more concrete.<\/p>\n
