Product Description
Choleast (red yeast rice powder) is derived from Monascus purpureus WENT, an organism grown on rice. After centuries of use in Traditional Chinese Medicine, it was discovered that red yeast rice is a potent inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMG-CoA reductase), the rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol synthesis. The fatty acids, phytosterols, isoflavones, and proteins in Choleast help maintain a healthful balance of cholesterol and related blood lipids in the body. Thorne Research's Choleast combines red yeast rice powder with coenzyme Q10. Warning: A woman who is pregnant or nursing, or who might become pregnant, should consult a health-care practitioner before using this product. Keep this product out of reach of children.

Best product I have ever reviewed in my life! May 6, 2008

I started taking Choleast a little over a month ago. My doctor just did a blood test and my LDL is DOWN 60 points! My good cholesterol is UP 8 points. My cholesterol has not been this good in over 10 years. This is the best product I have used in years. I can't recommend it highly enough. I am so happy I didn't have to take statin drugs. Thrilled!
This Really works....and without statin drugs!!! August 30, 2008

Thorne's Choleast is a wonderful product! My cholesterol index improved dramatically from the year before I started taking it, to the next year when the doctor checked it again! He wanted to know what I had done to change it....I told him Red Yeast Rice or "Choleast" with Q10...from Thorne Research. He said he didn't think that would make a difference...well, I told him I had not changed much else, and he needed to start believing in what he saw in the tests in front of him! I am a medical professional myself, and I can tell you others who have had dramatic improvement in their cholesterol taking this medication!! And I only take one pill a day, others have been taking two...it really works!

My doctor put me on Thorne Research - Choleast (red yeast rice)to control cholesterol. Apparently the active ingredient is levostatin but it comes naturally with other substances which mitigate the side effects often experienced with pure statins, e.g. muscle ache/weakness. Red yeast rice is not a controlled drug so different brands contain different quantities of active chemicals. My doc has found Choleast to work for his patients, he said.
good alternative to statins September 3, 2009

together with policosanol, choleast offers an alternative to the lipitors of the world. it seems to keep the cholesterol at bay - at least in my case.
