Overview
•Red yeast rice may contain naturally occurring monacolin K, a statin-like compound, so this product should not be combined with statins, fibrates, or other cholesterol-lowering drugs unless supervised by a clinician.
•The label warns it is not for anyone under 20 years of age; it also carries a California Prop 65 reproductive harm warning.
•Avoid during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and use caution with liver disease, heavy alcohol use, or unexplained muscle pain because red yeast rice can cause statin-like liver or muscle adverse effects.
•The 500 mg fish oil concentrate supplies 90 mg EPA and 60 mg DHA, which is a modest dose but may still add mild bleeding-risk caution when combined with anticoagulant or antiplatelet medicines.
•Contains fish oil, soybean oil, soy lecithin, and gelatin, making it unsuitable for people with fish or soy allergy and not vegetarian/vegan.
•Titanium dioxide is used as an inactive colorant/opacifier and is a formulation-quality concern for consumers avoiding this additive.
