got my lipid panel back!

[missionpossible]

sesapure
fish oil
red yeast rice extract

though sounds like diet and cardio may be factors.

those cholesterol levels are quite bad for someone not using orals.

I use all of the products you have listed and in addition I use flush free niacin too, I've heard its about the best over the counter for cholesterol, is this true macro?

get FLUSHING niacin. its the flush (widening of the arteries) that clears you out. I have familial bad cholesterol.

this is great, really gets me pointed in the right direction. k to any more tips

Are you a smoker?
That HDL is pretty low..

 

[njmuscleguy]

I take EFA's all the time, whether on or off... definitely recommend it not only for cholesterol, but a host of other benefits.

Also take Sesapure and Glucorell all the time. Now my liver enzymes and cholesterol only ever get slightly elevated after cycle.

Green tea, garlic, niacin, and policosinol also are good ideas.

just smoke the green, that's it. don't drink whatsover or do any other drugs.

is EFA's essential fatty acids (like the omega 3/6)?

does anyone see a problem with me taking the following all at the same time (no known issues about mixing them)?

flushing niacin
omega's
sesapure
policosinol
green tea

Yeah, it was more than likely from the Winny. That stuff will murder the HDL levels. Although yours right now are not entirely low compared to others i've seen with single digit figures. Your LDL is high though. Make sure to clean up the diet and add in some sort of cardio a couple of times per week if you are not already doing so.

Those supplements suggested by Macro and others will help some as well.

one last bump to see what kind of figures everyone else gets when they're tested "on"?

 

[glennds]

if it makes you feel any better i just gotthe following labwork done:

total cholesterol: 291 (desirable <200)
LDL: 241 (desirable < 130)
HDL: 28 (desirable >40)
liver enzymes 60s and 70s (normal ,45)

i have been on too long (15 weeks) so jhave take this as a warning and am off now. i have seen these kindof results before and retested a few weeks after going off. results will improve failry quickly.

i am open with my doctor about my steroid use. at my age i see zero point of lying,it never works. it was obvious something was up two or three years ago when my once stupendous vitals spiked for no apparent reason.

he is non judgemental but consistently warns me against doing steroids. he worries about the long term consequences of cholesterol and liver abnormalities. he was unable to answer if going on and off could result in long term damage as there have never been studies done.

i often read posts from respected mature EF members about never going off. perhaps they are immune, or able to control such abnormalities. i think its too dangerous to stay consistenly on.

btw i must fess up that i take no ancillarieswhile on for liver and cholesterol. maybe it is time i reconsidered. i figure since i go off for a reasonable time that is adequate. any opinions appreciated on this subject.
