I take it back..... Policosanol works!

[Gel]

Ok, lipids are as follows

19 Dec 2003 - Baseline, before starting 20mg Policosanol Each Day:

Total Cholesterol : 220.02
HDL : 34.74
LDL : 169.84
HDL Ratio 6.7

12 Feb 2004:

Total Cholesterol : 216.16
HDL : 40.92
LDL : 158.26
HDL Ratio 5.28

At this point I upped the doseage to 40mg Each Day

Total Cholesterol : 204.58
HDL : 68.32
LDL : 136.26
HDL Ratio: 3

Not bad eh?

The only thing I need help with now is my Liver values:

Alt/SGPT 94 u/L (ABNORMAL APPARENTLY)

So any help with that would be great!

Hope that helps you lot considering taking the stuff.

As a side note, I was using Source Naturals Policosanol complex for the first 2 months then changed to the plain old Policosanol only (Not the source naturals brand).

great real world info. you can read about it, but it's always nice to hear when it works for someone.

I would recommend Tyler Liver Detox for your liver if you want to lower those values. But in all honesty they aren't bad enough to warrant it.

Make sure you take the liver test after not working out for 5 days. I had liver values much higher than that and I took 2 weeks off from training and I was fine.

Weight training really fucks with inconsequential enzymes like ALT and AST.
