Policosanol.

Cycle support/life support is a great product to help with lipids!
I take it everyday due to my genetics......high bp and low HDL, high LDL
Makes a big difference for me.

Pop some psyllium fiber capsules (2g) with each meal, and combine a plant sterol product with niacin. Take a normal fish oil dose as well.

If this doesn't work, you'll need an Rx

Policosanol.

I agree

 

[dg806]

I agree

Cycle support has 20mg of Policosanol(2 servings) and is the recommended dosage for lipid control.

Life Support is very good for this plus other things such as prostate and BP.

 

[Beau]

Niacin and psyllium

1200mg red yeast rice / day. I PROMISE this will help you out a ton!

Not as much as it used too.....

Agreed... Now that the FDA required that the active ingredient in it be removed.....

 

[jackedandtan1]

what did the fda do this time besides the soon to be ph ps ban

 

[RedwolfWV]

It was at least a year ago, probably 2. The FDA required the active ingredient in Read Yeast Rice be removed... In a nutshell, it worked too well (because it was a statin drug) and was a very inexpensive alternative to statins marketed by the pharmaceutical industry. So what you get now is pretty much in-effective.

The new cycle support has grape seed extract which imo works better than the ryr. You also get the great taste of orange to boot!

 

[Xuchilbara]

Garlic
Fenugreek
Red yeast rice
Niacin
Fish Oil
Lecithin
Policosonal

Plus a high fiber diet.

We found that the RYR was a main culprit in the bad taste in CS. The grape seed extract improves the taste greatly.

 

[warbird01]

so everyone is in agreement that grape seed extract is better than RYR?

 

[dg806]

In my opinion yes.

 

[A_I_Sports_Nutrition]

I also agree that it is better.

 

[youngandfree]

What type of dosing for grape seed extract? My mom is 60 and is on statin drugs. I would rather her take a supplement vs. being a slave to the family doc and his lifestyle.

 

[warbird01]

how and how much should grape seed extract me dosed?

The bulk is sold out on nutra
