Is Intake Of Red Yeast Rice With Synthroid Help Reducing Cholesterol?
I am taking Red Yeast Rice 1200mg once a day for slightly elevated cholesterol...I just started taking it, and also CoQ-10 200 mg once a day at same time..My doc said she did not know if the coq-10 dose was correct, but said she had good results with patients taking Red Yeast Rice...She also said to find out if it is ok to take this combination in the morning and my synthroid (I have under controlled Hypothyroid) at my usual time at night at bedtime..Thank you in advance for any help and advice you can give me.
