fantastic postMavafanculo said:These are the supp's that will help protect you while you are hdl-impaired and will also help you more quickly normalize your lipid numbers once you come off.
Some have had success keeping HDL up and LDL down while on with these, it might be dose dependent on the offending compound. When I went above 50mg Anavar - oxandrolone - , nothing prevented my HDL from temporarily disappearing.
But some of the supp's below (especially the garlic, grape seed extract, and fish oil) provide a substitute HDL function while you are impaired - preventing/reducing new plaque formation and flushing ldl. The garlic studies are the oldest and haven't been negatively critiqued in any serious way thus far.
1) policosanol 20mg evening (+hdl, -ldl, blood thinner also, which is useful in your case as thicker blood and crappy lipid numbers arent a good combo)
2) garlic - cardiac formula dose of garlique or garlicin etc (acts as a substitute/super hdl, clearing ldl and reducing new plaque formation - also a blood thinner)
3) inositol hexanicotinate (noflush niacin) - (one of the few substances to raise hdl)
4) red yeast extract - a natural form of lovastatin, the same ingredient found in prescription stain drugs - (- ldl)
5) psyllium seed husk products/ hi fiber diet (-ldl )
6) diet high in unsaturated fats ("good fats" from vegetbles) mostly monostaurated fats which will raise hdl (olive oil, peanut oils, walnuts etc)
7) cardio, 30 minutes 3x weekly - even brisk walk - (increases hdl)
8) obviously a diet low in "bad fats" (saturated fats- meat and diary, and trans fats)
9) Fish Oil supplements or fish (better balanced than omega-3 pills) reduce risk of CV event and plaque formation .
10) Grape Seed Extract (-ldl, maybe +hdl, more important prevent oxidation of ldl and plaque formation) - similar protection as garlic during hdl-impaired periods such as during cycle and proximate post-cycle

Guvna said:Nicotinic acid is the only form of niacin with proven efficacy to lower LDL and raise HDL. I would stick with that unless it is absolutely not tolerated by the user. Other than that great post.
Mavafanculo said:to clarify, because there's a few forms and similar sounding:
-niacin (nicotinic acid), flushing, some liver impact, studied effective at +hdl, -ldl
-niacinamide (buffered niacin), reduced or noflush, not effective in dyslipedemia
-time-released niacin, less flush, effective at +hdl, -ldl, BUT LIVER TOXIC over time according to various manuscripts- how liver toxic? probably less than 17 alpha-alkylated, but I'm guessing. anyone have study links?
-inositol hexanicotinate, no flushing, was considered as effective at +hdl, -ldl as native niacin without the sides, more recent studies have been mixed or show less benefit than native niacin
can anyone pull the full text of these?->
