Across 3 studies, all reported beneficial effects of red yeast rice on reducing apolipoprotein B levels, with effect sizes ranging from moderate to large. Two of the three studies reported statistically significant findings. The median study duration was 56 days (8 weeks), suggesting effects are observed within this timeframe. The most-studied population appears to be individuals with hyperlipidemia or mild dyslipidemia, with doses varying from 200 mg/day to 4800 mg/day (or up to 10 mg/day monacolin K). The evidence shows moderate-sized effects on apoB reduction.
