I take red yeast rice (natural statins) and niacin to lower my cholesterol. It seems I have minimal side effects from these so far. I also drink aged pu erh and I do find it helps me after a heavy meal. I am happy about the fact it contains natural statins, as my cholesterol levels tend to run high! Perhaps the medical establishment is wrong about high cholesterol being bad… but I have heart disease in my family so I would prefer not to take any risks. Anyway, I don’t really limit my diet too much. In fact, I love grass-fed milk and goat milk products (usually whole) and eat them almost every day.
I do avoid the statin drugs as they have too many side effects for me (muscle pain.)
