that is just it there are not really signs-- it is a silent killer, the best bet is to get blood work done from a doctor or even go to the walk in clinic and have some tests done! niacin has been shown to help reduce bad Cholesterol and help to rid the the body of excess lipids, the best idea is to watch the foods you eat and to keep the support supplements going throughout the cycle and even while off!

Because there are no signs or symptoms is exactly why you should be worried about it...you feel perfectly healthy....then have a massive heart attack and drop dead in front of your family on christmas day. (happened to a friend of mine).
I think lipid levels LDL/HDL ratios is something that people on aas (esp orals) should pay more attention to...it often gets overlooked in favour of worrying about liver health (which is obviously also important)
Fish oil is a great way to maintain healthy HDL/LDL ratios....but not just a couple of fish oil capsules a day..get the liquid, and take several tablespoons a day. You might also notice your memory improves, mood improves, skin improves, and that nagging joint pain has suddenly disappeared.

yes the signs and symptoms of most diseases are only warning signs of the damage that is happening inside the body, think of it this way the signs are things you can measure such as blood glucose levels or blood pressure, symptoms are how you feel, i feel dizzy or my head hurts. Some of the most dangerous diseases such as heart problems, STDs and many more have no signs or symptoms but they still have serious effects to the body, so the only way to get the info a person would need is to go and get lab tests done to ensure their body is functioning normally, like your liver for example you are not going to feel your liver having problems until you go into liver failure so the way one watches for problems is blood work and lab tests!
