Red Yeast Rice With Garlic
Natrol
Overview
This product combines red yeast rice and garlic to support cardiovascular health and claims to help maintain healthy cholesterol levels but includes a proprietary blend of other botanical ingredients. The effectiveness of red yeast rice for cholesterol management is supported by research, and garlic also demonstrates some beneficial effects. However, lack of clarity on the proprietary blend at 5mg leaves the effectiveness of that blend largely unsubstantiated.
The Good

Garlic may provide additional cardiovascular benefits.
Includes BioPerine for enhanced absorption to a certain extent.
The Bad
Potential for interactions with certain medications.

Limited evidence on the effectiveness of the proprietary blend.
