I am a 68 year old woman with a total cholesterol of 305, HDL of 73, LDL of 201, Trig. 156. I was taking 600mg of red rice yeast. My doctor wants me on statins but I do not want to take them. I would like to take another 600mg tablet of red rice yeast for a total of 1200mg a day and try to lose five pounds. I have no other heart risks except for the cholesteral.Please advise me.
