My doctor told me to take the red yeast rice but never said not to eat grapefruit while on the regimen. I assumed because red yeast rice is a natural statin that there were no concerns about an overdose. The red yeast rice did bring down my cholesterol 20 points within six months, but I did not limit my grapefruit intake. I have now reduced my daily intakes of the red yeast rice to only a couple of times a week and will take it only when I have not had any grapefruit on those particular days. Thanks again, G.
