better than probiotics

butyric acid seemed to be the missing link for my digestive problems (cramping and diarrhea). I had tried numerous brands of probiotics but it wasn't until I used butyric acid that my gut finally functioned normally.

want a chlosterol lowering natural supplement - this product works!

have only used this product a few weeks. Will not retest Chlosterol for 6 months but will report back to this site if I can. I had a hard time finding Red Yeast Rice and was pleased iherb offered it. UPDATE June 2010: This product works!!! I have been using this product almost 2 years and my total chlosterol has come down from 330 to 210. My cardiologist has me taking ONE capsule every 3 days to avoid causing other problems statins can cause. My cardiologist told me my total chlosterol is only part of the lipid picture and my level around 200 is fine for me. I have high HDL and ok LDL so you have to consider more than just total chlosterol number. Red Yeast Rice is a naturally occuring statin, in other words a God made neutriceutical.

I have been taking this product for about 6 months. If I take it 1-2 times a day, I definitely have more energy. However, do not take on an empty stomach or you will have hypoglycemia and rather quickly too. I have to take it after a meal.

This product caused a lot of gas and bloating the first few days I tried it. I started with 2 capsules a day. It must contain soy as I'm hyper sensitive to soy. I will try it again but am disappointed for now.

Life Extension's products seem to be high quality, like their company. I take this due to a breast cancer history too. This product does not upset my stomach and does not contain soybeans, wheat, gluten or corn, which I like. Also, a v-cap

I have been taking this product for 2 months and like it. It is derived from natural beta-carotene, algae D. Salina. It also uses a Kosher capsule. This product does not upset my delicate stomach. Bluebonnet makes another beta-carotene but it is in a gelatin capsule and I don't like it.

The original Green & White Tea was made with a V-cap. A reformulated Green & White Tea Force was made with a gelatin capsule derived from non-kosher catfish. GROSS...... Well, apparently New Chapter got the message and the re-reformulated green/white tea force is back to a vegan capsule as of early 2010. YAY!

best vitamin C I've used

I use magnesium ascorbate for a vitamin C source because it is not acidic like ascorbic acid. It's supposed to be more bioavailble and it does not upset my stomach. I prefer this buffered form.

Progressive Laboratories, Lipid Balance, 180 Veggie Caps

Lowered LDL, raised HDL and lowered triglycerides by taking 3 pills a day

Posted on May 08, 2013

Purchased at iHerb

This product works and raised HDL from 41 to 62, lowered LDL from 120 to 90, and lowered Triglycerides from 140 to 62 over a six month time frame. I am a little concerned about the natural statin that is in the product, Red Yeast Rice, so I might start taking 3 pills every other day and check my levels again in six months. I have been told the natural statin, Red Yeast Rice, does not negatively effect the body like a man-made statin such as Lipitor. I have tried other supplements to get this result and was unable to until I took Lipid Balance. This product works.
