Overview
•Red yeast rice contains 0.25 mg lovastatin per daily dose (4 capsules), creating potential statin-like interactions and myopathy risk.
•Beta-sitosterol and phytosterols are generally recognized as safe but may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins when taken long-term.
•Green tea extract at 80 mg provides ~40 mg polyphenols; this low dose minimizes liver toxicity risk associated with higher EGCG concentrations.
•Guggul extract standardized to 3.5% guggulsterones may interact with thyroid medications and hormonal contraceptives.
•Bovine gelatin capsule is unsuitable for vegetarians/vegans; soy-derived phytosterols require soy allergy caution.
•Product label advises consulting healthcare practitioner for use beyond 8 weeks due to red yeast rice content.
