Red Yeast producers that advertise treating cholesterol have received FDA action letters. The process of red yeast production is gras and fall within food supplements status, think brewing yeast. The process for concentrating fish oil in either ethyl ester or Trig form involving a synthetic process is not covered under gras.
Red Yeast production does not violate laws as long as it’s labeled appropriately.
Ethyl ester fish oil violates gras laws & labeling laws.
You can’t compare the two situations, not all red yeast contains the Lovastatin molecule, you are placing your patients at risk. That’s bad. IMO, you could be legally liable for misleading CV patients...
