Heart, Cholesterol & BP

[OldWiseMan]

Hey fellas,

I was wondering what kind of supplement regime you guys follow to keep you cholesterol and BP under control.

My current regime:

Red Yeast Rice, Hawthorne Berry, CoQ10, Milk Thistle, Multi Vitamin, MACA, Panax Ginseng, Green Tea Extract, Saw Palmetto Extract, and a tiny bit of Asprin.

I haven't done a cycle in 2-3 years, and I am considering hopping on something light. My concern is destroying my lipid profile, and messing with liver values.

What would you guys do?

here's some cholesterol supplementation info :

the (presumably) temporarily degraded lipid numbers (high ldl, low-end hdl) are a known side effect of a.a.s. - they will also self correct, but there's much you can do to speed the process and protect yourself as this occurs:

1) policosanol 20mg evening (+hdl, -ldl, blood thinner also, which is useful in your case as thicker blood and crappy lipid numbers arent a good combo)
2) garlic - cardiac formula dose of garlique or garlicin etc (acts as a substitute/super hdl, clearing ldl and reducing new plaque formation - also a blood thinner)
3) inositol hexanicotinate (noflush niacin) - (one of the few substances to raise hdl)
4) red yeast extract - a natural form of lovastatin, the same ingredient found in prescription stain drugs - (- ldl)
5) psyllium seed husk products/ hi fiber diet (-ldl )
6) diet high in unsaturated fats ("good fats" from vegetbles) mostly monostaurated fats which will raise hdl (olive oil, peanut oils, walnuts etc)
7) cardio, 30 minutes 3x weekly - even brisk walk - (increases hdl)
8) obviously a diet low in "bad fats" (saturated fats- meat and diary, and trans fats)
9) Fish Oil supplements or fish (better balanced than omega-3 pills) reduce risk of CV event and plaque formation .
10) Grape Seed Extract (-ldl, maybe +hdl, more important prevent oxidation of ldl and plaque formation) - similar protection as garlic during hdl-impaired periods such as during cycle and proximate post-cycle

If you're concerned before using drugs, get a bllod test before to make sure you're fine, and then get one after recovered to see where you're at.

Thanks for the info. I may grab some garlic and no flush niacin also..

Fish oil, Flax oil, Olive oil, Policosanol, Niacin, NAC. Vytorin

does vytorin works better than lipitor? lipitor makes wonders to my dad so I guess by genetics I should use that one in the near future. Grandpa had like 5 HA, dad like 2, so my first is already written.

Much better. IMO. Drops your LDL and Trigs like a rock. None of the Statins really do anything to raise your HDL. You really need to keep your HDL up. That's what the Oils, and especially, the Niacin do. Get the Flush kind, you can feel it opening all your little capillaries, 2000mg Niacin/day WILL raise HDL.
