Controlling your cholesterol during a cycle.....everybody should follow this

[Generic MALE]

One last thing - cholesterol production is diurnal - meaning most of our cholesterol production is at night. This is because it is used to make hormones - which drop in the evening and peak in the morning. We produce cholesterol at night so we can make testosterone in the morning.

So if you take cholesterol products once a day it is best to take them at dinner (in the late evening) so as to influence the production of cholesterol. This is conjecture but I also think it stands to reason to avoid eating the "bad" foods (trans saturated fats) like fried foods at night, and if you must eat them - eat those deep fried onion rings with breakfast or lunch.

Fiber works to prevent the reabsorption of cholesterol. A good deal of cholesterol is released by the gallbladder in the form of bile which is then eliminated in the stool. If you have a low fiber diet the cholesterol can be reabsorbed by the intestines (small). Fiber soaks up the cholesterol and takes it out in the stool.

Can you answer the question about the B-12 injections. Thanks.

I don't think B-12 influences cholesterol but I could be wrong. I did not answer it because I really don't know for sure. I can't remember anything that would indicate it would help with dyslipidemia - I love that word. Dyslipidemia - bad lipid/fat production.

Maybe Fonz knows for sure. I will look and see if I can find anything on B12 and chol.

I looked at 4 abstracts. I don't like abstracts that much in some ways because you cannot evaluate the results for yourself, but have to take someone elses word for what the test proved - sine essentially only the conclusion is shown. I also love abstracts in that it cuts down on reading time. Anyway I could not find anything linking B12 to cholesterol although some try to link it to heart disease via homocysteine. This is one study although I am doubtful of the conclusion since it also states low folate levels do not cause hypermonocysteine- when I think every other study shows that the ONLY way to treat high homocysteine is with folic acid. Sorry I don't have a good answer for you

The incidence of hyperhomocysteinaemia in vascular patients.

Spark Ji J, Laws P, Fitridge R.

Department of Surgery, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, University of Adelaide, Woodville 5011, Adelaide, Australia.

Introduction. Hyperhomocysteinaemia has recently been identified as an important risk factor for atherosclerotic vascular disease. Screening for hyperhomocysteinaemia has been recommended, however, the incidence of hyperhomocysteinaemia in vascular patients is not known. Aims. To determine the incidence of hyperhomocysteinaemia in vascular patients, to determine the relation of hyperhomocysteinaemia with folate, vitamin B(12) levels and lipid profiles in vascular patients. To examine if there is a relationship between the degree of vascular injury and homocysteine concentration. Methods. New vascular patients at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital were recruited and divided into peripheral, and aneurysmal presentations. Patients demographics were recorded, blood samples were taken for fasting lipid profile, and homocysteine concentration. Samples were also taken for vitamin B(12), plasma and red cell folate levels. Sixty age and sex matched controls were included for comparison. Results. One hundred and twenty-six patients have been recruited, (95 men and 31 women) with a median age of 68 years (61-74 years). The incidence of elevated homocysteine, and cholesterol levels was 33, 47 and 24%. The levels of vitamin B(12) and folate were normal in all patients. Homocysteine was elevated in 27% of claudicants, 50% of patients with rest pain and 53% of patients with an aortic aneurysm. Conclusion. There is a high rate of hyperhomocysteinaemia in vascular patients with a higher incidence in patients with rest pain. There was also a high incidence of elevated homocysteine levels in patients with an abdominal aortic aneurysm. The rate of growth of these aneurysms is currently under review. Low folate or B(12) concentrations is not the cause of raised homocysteine levels.

Thanks again! Karma is headed your way as soon as I'm reloaded.

B12 doesn't do much for cholesterol.

A good thing to do is to take is 12.5mcg T3/day. T3 increases the rate at which cholesterol clearing enzymes are produced. Therefore taking 12.5mcgs/day will reduce your total cholesterol levels by a small margin.

Fonz, good post. Policosanol rocks and you did a good job of bringing it to everyone attention with credibility

So does Fonz's lipid profile cocktail for high Chlosteral. It also raises HLD levels and lowers LDL levels.
