Cholesterol Jump

[pitching101]

Just figured I should tell people my cholesterol jumped from a healthy 165 to a not healthy 225 and it was because of 1 of 2 things:

A Pplex/havoc bridge a did (with proper PCT and support supps)
or
Me going on a cyclical keto diet, where I eat a lot of cheese, burgers, butter, olive oil, almonds (thought keto did not affect cholesterol)

pplex/havoc. Takes a while for Chlosterol/blood lipids to return to normal. That is why support supps are VERY important.

 

[pitching101]

Would it be beneficial to take cycle support now, while im off cycle to help bring down cholesterol or will it come down over time while I cut

what is the breakdown of your cholersterol?

that is
the HDL (good)
and LDL (bad)?

divide your TC by the HDL

the ratio should be less than 4 (average is 4.5)

Yes. Red yeast rice is good for lowering chlosterol. Also Niacin will help bring down LDL if it is high.

Niacin improves HDL, not LDL from what I remember (or maybe it was both). Either way it significantly improves HDL.

I also believe Dr. Vokel has performed studies showing an improvement in cholesterol levels on low carb or keto diets. I'd have to search but its out there.

Uses based on scientific evidence Grade*
High cholesterol (niacin)
Niacin is a well-accepted treatment for high cholesterol. Multiple studies show that niacin (not niacinamide) has significant benefits on levels of high-density cholesterol (HDL or "good cholesterol"), with better results than prescription drugs such as "statins" like atorvastatin (Lipitor?). There are also benefits on levels of low-density cholesterol (LDL or "bad cholesterol"), although these effects are less dramatic. Adding niacin to a second drug such as a statin may increase the effects on low-density lipoproteins. The use of niacin for the treatment of dyslipidemia associated with type 2 diabetes has been controversial because of the possibility of worsening glycemic control. Patients should check with a physician and pharmacist before starting niacin.
