What's a good supplement that helps maintain a healthy lipid profile and boost it? Are Scivation's Sesamin, LipidFX, or BI's Ultra Size good supplements, or is there anything better?
Thanks.The cheapest supplement which has the most scientific backing is good old psyllium (metamucil). Here is a link to the Mayo Clinic supplement guide for lipids:

Thanks again.Go with The King- SesaThin.
Yes, but you have to be careful. High doses over a prolonged period have been known to induce liver damage (something people in this lifestyle are already prone to).How about little ol' Niacin?
The culprit is usually timed release niacin. Most of the articles in your post talked about the benefits of niacin. Here is an excerpt from the first one:

Agreed, this would be an excellent stack to get and keep your lipid profile looking the way you want it to...That said, Crowlers question should be addressed to get a real idea of the cause and cure.Sesathin w/ EFA's, some policosanol, and good ole' fiber would be a lipid panel slayer.
policosanol definitely, there have been hundreds of studies done on this supplement. it has been shown to actually perform better or equal to current medications used to controll cholesterol, and can raise good cholesterol as much as 25% in some people. :thumbsup:

do some more research on your own and form your own opinion on this one because i have read other studies that have shown completely different results. i personally believe it is a wonderful supplement. hope that helped someone out there.
Glad to see that. I tried it and I know it does nothing. I get tired of people telling me it works. If it worked, then you didn't need it, your cholesterol was not that high.A review (among many other studies) was recently published that showed policosanol provides NO benefit in impacting one's lipid profile positively - it was published in a well known peer-reviewed journal , JAMA. -->Berthold HK, Unverdorben S, Degenhardt R, Bulitta M, Gouni-Berthold I. Effect of policosanol on lipid levels among patients with hypercholesterolemia or combined hyperlipidemia: a randomized controlled trial.
JAMA. 2006 May 17;295(19):2262-9. - basically showed no benefit over placebo.

Can you say hypochondriac?
Bump...Can Sesathin be taken during cycle and post cycle therapy or when would it be better? And which is better to get, Controlled Labs' SesaGlow or SciVation's Sesamin?
You're talking about three different products there.Can Sesathin be taken during cycle and post cycle therapy or when would it be better? And which is better to get, Controlled Labs' SesaGlow or SciVation's Sesamin?
Well Sesathin is kind of expensive, and I was looking at the two others which are less expensive than it.You're talking about three different products there.
SesaThin is our sesamin product and it's the best. If you don't believe me, feel free to look up the reports on this board and others about how users get better results from our liquid than any other sesamin product.
The choice is obvious.
Between Sesathin and Sesathin Softgels, which would you recommend as being more convenient (price) and having more quality (just better)?Small price to pay for quality and innovation in my mind, but I definitely respect where you're coming from.
It doesn't come with something to measure doses, right?I'd go with the liquid. It's cheaper and it seems to be the best delivery method.
Thanks. Right now I'm taking Cycle Support and some extra Milk Thistle. Once I begin with the cycle, I'm going to add Sesathin and Liver Longer.Definately the liquid, quite a difference. Not sure why. Annabolic Innovations cycle support is the best way to go. A mixture of everything to help with cholesterol and BP.
agreed....cycle support is good stuffDefinately the liquid, quite a difference. Not sure why. Annabolic Innovations cycle support is the best way to go. A mixture of everything to help with cholesterol and BP.
Used to, but not anymore.It doesn't come with something to measure doses, right?
Thanks. Can I continue take Fish Oil while consuming Sesathin?Used to, but not anymore.
All you need is one of those 1/4 teaspoons, though.
Thanks. How much would you recommend me to take in conjunction with Cycle Support, extra Milk Thistle, and Liver Longer during cycle? And I can continue to take Sesathin during PCT, right (same doses?)?Yep.
Yeah I'm taking it mainly for lipids, but if I lose whatever bodyfat I have left at the same time, then great.You're just taking it for lipids, right, and not fat loss?
You could probably get away with anywhere between 1/2 full dose and full dose.
And yep, you can take it with post cycle therapy.
Thanks again for the help.Correct- three times a day with meals.
