I was doing a little research when I discovered that in in august 2007 the FDA decided to ban RYR products contain lovastatin. Only RYR made with the bacterica Monascus purpureus contains lovastatin and it is the whole reason for taking it since it lowers cholesterol. Well big brother thinks that the cattle will over graze and there money makers will be hurt so the said no and all RYR must be made with a differnt strain of bacteria which no longer produces lovastatin. So in other words if you buy any RYR not made with Monascus purpureus it is worth less. So that counts out Walmarts shit. Hell I love how the FDA freakn sticks there big noses in everything. the freakn chinesse have been using it for 2000 years and all of a sudden we learn chemistry and now its dangerous and bad for us. I am honestly suprised that Hawthorne Berry and Saint Johns Wort are still on the market.
