Anavar & Cholesterol

[funkyfresh]

Hi Guys,

I am soon to start an Anavar cycle in a few months time and at the moment I am getting everything ready for an 8 week cycle.

I know people say is a fairly mild med, but it can have quite a dramatic effect in cholesterol levels in some people.

However, I have read that at one time oxandrolone was also looked at as a possible drug for those suffering from disorders of high cholesterol or triglycerides. Early studies showed it to be capable of lowering total cholesterol and triglyceride values in certain types of hyperlipidemic patients, which initially was thought to signify potential for this drug as a hypo-lipid (lipid lowering) agent. But after further research it was found that although it may have some effect at lowering total cholesterol values, it is such that a redistribution in the ratio of good (HDL) to bad (LDL) cholesterol.

I've been looking into what supplements/meds I can take throughout the cycle to avoid my lipid balance from becoming too high or out of balance.

Niacin (flush free) 2g ED
Sytrinol 600mg ED
Policasonal 20 - 40mg ED
Plant Sterols 600mg ED

I also intend on taking upto 3 tablespoons of Udo Oil Blend a day to help boost my HDL, which I take anyway as part of my diet

I'm not sure how effective these supplements are in terms of controlling cholesterol on cycle.

Swanson Vitamins offer this supplement which looks like a very good mix of ingriedients.

This also contains Krill Oil which is also said to be very good for Cholesterol.

I know some guys recommend Red Yeast Rice...but most RYR supplements are pretty much useless unless you can find one which contains the active statins which is rare. There are only a handful of companies which make this, one being a product from China (I forget the name).

Or would I be better off just taking something like some low dose (5mg) Zetia?

I don't really want to take any statin drugs, but I've heard Zetia is relatively safe as it works in a different way from statin drugs and doesn't effect liver values either.

Thanks

The omega 3's you have planned should help, i usually use flax oil. Last couple times i've had my levels checked after 10 weeks of var they've been fine.

If you make sure your diets in check and you keep up with the cardio I wouldn't worry about it too much. Have them checked afterwards though so you know for sure how it affected you.

In my experience Var over 40mg ED will negatively impact your HDL/LDL ratio regardless of supplementation, as to what extent that is impossible to predict (genetic factors) however you will recover much, much more quickly if you use a PC regime that includes the supplements you've listed in your post.

Udo oil is great stuff by the way

Here's the mix-

Niacin WITH Flush. It opens the capilaries to get all blood and nutients into the smallest of vascularity. 2000 mg/day. take with food.
Red Rice Yeast 2 caps a day
Fish oil 4 caps a day
Flax oil 4 caps a day.
policosonol
tsp olive oil/ ED.
Statin drugs if you have them.

Your lipids will be fine.

My avatar just confirms Rooney's claims that Ronaldo can also score with his head!
