Does Red Yeast Supplement Cause Muscle Cramps?

I have had really bad results taking prescribed colostrol drugs to the point that I have stopped. Not sure what my blood tests are going to show on upcoming tests. Is taking red yeast supplements les likely to cause my miserable cramps and resulting soreness?

Welcome to HCM
It's safe product can be used for 4 year but please take attention there some red yeast products found to contain varying amounts of the statin-like chemicals and Some products may contain none. Red yeast products that contain high amounts of the statin-like chemicals are more likely to cause serious side effects such as liver damage and severe muscle pain and muscle damage.
