Red Yeast Rice & Garlic

[icanrace]

I've been taking a product with RYR & Garlic in one. It has DRAMATICALLY helped my cholesterol levels! Recently though the product was reformulated by taking out the RYR and adding in Plant Sterol Esters in its place.
My question is, which of the two ingredients in the original formula helped me most with my improvements? I'm concerned the ryr was the main one that helped and I won't get the same results with the new formula.
Here is the product I was using that is now reformulated:

I was told it was reformulated because ryr takes away COQ10 in our bodies.

Input would be appreciated!
