Re: Mon, 24 Jul 2006 19:54:47 -0500 by olsen, #28334 RED YEAST RICE IS A STATIN--mevacolin K is the active anti cholesterol ingredient. All statins, including RYR, cause "exercise intolerence". Quite ironic... our Dr's prescribe statins, then tell us to exercise... I'd like to see them do what they say. As mentioned already (but just to tie things together), CoQ10 deficiency is the reason for our painful joints & muscles, exercise intolerence and memory loss.
