Guest guest Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 A friend from Church suggested I take niacin as she does for high cholesterol. I called my Dr. to ask how much to take and she said that niacin would not lower mine.........I don't know why. Since then I have wondered if she only believes in drugs she can prescribe and not things over the counter.........I may try it anyway as well as the omega 3 capsules I have started taking...... Thanks, from FL re:statins statins are thought to interfere with complex 1 of the mitochondrial electron transfer chain--and because statins deplete the body of coenzyme q 10, could potentially interfere with all 5 complexes within the mitochondrial transfer chain--definitely not a good thing for someone with mitochondrial issues already--have you considered niacin? as well as fish oil capsules you mentioned?
