Red Rice Yeast and Statins
Due to the similarity of action for Red Rice Yeast and statins, it is recommended that this product should not be taken in conjunction with prescribed statin treatments.

Safety
Concerns have been raised over the variability of Red Rice Yeast supplements due to the variability of the monocolin levels and the presence of citrinin, a toxin by-product of the fermentation process. Cytoplan customers can be assured that suppliers of our Red Rice Yeast product guarantee the active level of monacolin and an undetectable level of citrinin.
