Choleast-900 provides naturally occurring monacolins, phytosterols, and isoflavones for maintenance of healthy lipid levels. Red yeast rice also promotes health lipid particle size and number.
Maintaining an optimal LDL cholesterol level is an important component of maintaining good cardiovascular health. Numerous studies in China and the United States have concluded that preparations of red yeast rice help to maintain blood cholesterol levels already in the normal range. Choleast-900 contains Monascus purpureus, a red-pigmented yeast grown on rice. It also contains consistent amounts of the naturally-occurring monacolins found in red yeast rice– without standardization or fortification – along with the phytosterols beta-sitosterol, campesterol, and stigmasterol, as well as isoflavones and trace minerals, all of which can contribute to good cardiovascular health. With 50-percent more red yeast rice than our Choleast product, Choleast-900 requires fewer capsules for easier supplementation.

Thorne's Choleast 900 is a natural statin that I take instead of pharmaceutical statins. I have experienced no side effects from taking it and it has helped lower my cholesterol levels for years. I highly recommend it as a natural alternative to pharmaceutical statins.

This product is super effective! My LDL was 145(too high!) now it has recently changed to 111. I am happy as is my doctor. I will continue to use this produce as opposed to a prescribed statin.

I use as a supplement to getting enough protein along with my Equip Powder in morning shake. I was using other "Organic"protein products and found out how many have high lead and other issues. Such a relief to have these passing the safety testing. That really matters to me.
My whole digestive track became viscerally hypersensitive after a food borne infection and I was in terrible pain. This supplement is a simple effective solution and after two months of pain, I have relief. It took two months to get a referral and appointment with a gastroenterologist, and once I had the visit, 2 days of taking this to get relief from the pain.
I’ve tried fiber supplements in the past, and have not liked either the viscosity or taste. This one truly dissolves completely in water and has no taste. It’s also very effective. I was resistant to my dr.’s suggestion to add a fiber supplement as I eat a high fiber diet. But apparently not high enough, this supplement helped get my system back on track.
