Default NOW Foods inc. reply to my question about red yeast rice.
My cardiologist recommended "Complimentary RX" Red Yeast Rice (RYR) because that is what the pharmacy at Scripps Integrative Medicine sells. I couldn't find the brand on the web, so I submitted the question below to NOW Foods, Inc. Their reply is part of the quote below.

The product I'm interested in can be seen at http://www.iherb.com/ProductDetails....&pid=6687&at=0

The NOW Food Quality Assurance link is http://www.nowfoods.com/index.php/el...e/cat_id/33841 to get to various quality control topics.

Your Message: My cardiologist recommended 2,400 a day of Red Yeast Rice.
I asked which brand, and he recommended "Complimentary RX" because it is
tested for purity and potency. The concern is that virtually all Red
Yeast Rice comes from China, with problematic quality control. My
question is, is NOW Foods Red Yeast Rice tested for purity and potency? Thanks for your reply.

Hello David,

Product checked for heavy metals such as lead, mercury, etc. and other
contaminants such as pesticides, Microbiological, and mycotoxins like
citrinin. See the quality links on our webpage for more information on
our quality efforts.

Thank you for your inquiry,
NOW Quality, Science, & Nutrition Group
