Fonz has a lipid profile cocktail that he made for me, which he caps himself. The results have been outstanding so far as far for other people. I intend to to do that along this new product. Hopefully my HDL will get out of the single digits. Last time it was checked it was 9!

odds and ends
Niacin (vitamin B3) is the strongest thing so far to raise HDL. But it can also raise liver values and decrease insulin sensitivity. Someone mentioned getting red and blotchy (called the "niacin flush"). This can be avoided by taking a form known as "Inositol hexaniacinate". This is also the safest form of the vitamin. The most dangerous is "time released niacin" - which accounts for most liver disturbances. In all of recorded time only one death has occured from a "Vitamin" - and that is from niacin. A mentally unbalanced individual took excessive doses of straight niacin and suffered liver failure in 1984 - he was trying to get a niacin flush for some reason and liked it.
There have been some herbal deaths such as those linked to Ephedra, and some deaths from eosinophilia myalgia syndrome (EMS) due to contaminated tryptophan (it was not the tryptophan but a contaminant that the company Shaw Denko knew about but sold it anyway) - but only one single ever in history person to die from vitamins and it was niacin.
Someone asked about Nattokinase - it can be purchased at Nutricology 1800-545-9960. But I think bromelain does everything it does and less expensively - natto is mostly hype. Proteolytic enzymes act as fibrinolases or rather have fibrinolytic activity.
Someone also mentioned that their doctor said that the liver is the key to healthy cholesterol levels - truer words were never spoken. You could drink an 8 ounce tumbler of cholesterol and not significantly alter your blood cholesterol levels (trans fatty acid consumption is a different story). This is because roughly 80% of your blood cholesterol comes from direct liver production - this is why a vegetartian can have high cholesterol even though they do not eat anything with cholesterol. Cal-D-Gluc and n-acetyl cysteine are very important liver adjuncts. Over 25 studies were been done on the eskimos, who lived predominantly on about a pound of raw whale blubber up until the last few decades (when fast food invaded their area)- their cholesterol was low normal ranges despite the high animal fat diet.
It is pronounced Poly-koe-sin-all.
Cholesterol apparently can get too low. Cholesterol is needed to make up healthy membranes and form hormones. Japanese have as many strokes as we do, but they tend to be the hemorrhagic type (bleeders) as opposed to people in the USA that tend to have obstructive strokes (clogged up). High cholesterol tends to clog the tubes up, whereas excessively low cholesterol tends to weaken the menbranes forming the walls of arteries leading to easy ruptures - hemorrhages.
Anti-aromatases tend to elevate cholesterol to a great degree, so maybe tamoxifen is a better choice - although older drug.
Studies have shown a dramatic improvement on the average between 10 and 20 mg /day but nothing significant between 20 and 40 mg/day.
The only vitamin company I will take vitamins from over the long run is Pure Encapsulations. Every single batch of every single vitamin is tested by one of seven outside labs. Not a batch per year, but every single batch is tested and they publish the results. I would not trust them if they used an inside lab to test the product, or even just one lab. But they use 7 different outside labs unnaffiliated with the company. However Pure Encapsulations only sell to physicians. I know of 2 studies in which they took samples of vitamins and herbs from up to 10 different companies and sent them to the lab for analysis - most (in one study 7 of the 10) came back as being tremendously underdosed. There is no regulation of vitamin companys so they can skimp and cheat on their products to save money. That is why I only trust a company like Pure Encapsulations to buy from as they extensively test their products and publish the test results.
