Cholesteral Natural Over the Counter Options

Hello, I have a question about Natural Cholesterol over the counter options vs Statins.

http/www.cholesterolinstitute.net/Reviews.html
​A few of these seem to offer good for the body items that help with cholesterol. 
​Particularly, this one seems to have the best ratings from that page:  HeartSavior

​If you read the customer reviews on Amazon, it seems to lower numbers quite a bit.  So, why then do Drs recommend Statins if they have negative effects of taking the good substances out of your body that it needs along with causing memory issues and muscle pain for some folks?

I can't explain why doctors prescribe statins other than they get a kick back from those companies would be my guess. Red yeast rice has worked great for me. I buy it right from Costco.
