What Are the Side Effects of Jarrow Formulas Red Yeast Rice + Co-Q10?
Always consult your health practitioner if in doubt.
RiskHigh Risk
Overview
•Red yeast rice may contain naturally occurring monacolin K, a lovastatin-like compound, so this product can cause statin-like side effects such as muscle pain, weakness, digestive upset, or liver enzyme changes.
•Do not use during pregnancy, nursing, or while trying to conceive; the label specifically warns against use in these populations.
•Consult a healthcare professional before use if taking statins or other cholesterol-lowering medicines, or if you have liver disease, prior statin intolerance, kidney disease, or unexplained muscle symptoms.
•CoQ10 at 100 mg is generally well tolerated, but it may interfere with warfarin anticoagulation control in some people.
•The product is labeled free from wheat, gluten, soybeans, dairy, egg, fish/shellfish, peanuts/tree nuts, and sesame; it does contain a rice-derived fermented ingredient.
