interesting.

Well – Sorry folks, I really goofed!!!! That’s what I get for

doing something like this when I’m tired and right before bed! The

supplements I am taking to lower LP(a) are NAC and DHEA

(dehydroepiandrosterone). I’m currently taking 50mg of DHEA (Natrol brand) and

1200mg of N-A-C Sustain (Jarrow brand). (N-Acetyl-Cysteine)

I even googled DMAE to get the actual name and never read it! I have no idea

what this is!!!!

Please excuse a tired brain….I realized my mistake as I was taking my supps

this morning….

Again, sorry,

Acids/Roni

Hello Group,

A couple of things to remember about Policosanol...

* It lowers Lp(a) cholesterol.

* And also reduces platelet aggregation (stickiness)

I've read many reports that some have stopped taking Policosanol

because it did not do lower their cholesterol (as advertised), but

that's not the only benefit... And the objective is to find the 'root

cause' of elevated triglycerides, which can be due to a high carb

(especially the 'white' foods) - low fat diet.

Do you recall your lipid numbers before taking the Policosanol and after?

Yes, I do.

Triglycerides - 243 down to 207 on one 23 mgs pill per day

LDLs - 142 - down to 137 on one 23 mgs pill per day

HDLs - 69 both times

Risk Assessment Ratio 3.8 - down to 3.6, Average risk down to Below

Average Risk

That was on one tiny pill per day, with no side effects.

I have been taking 2 pills, and am going in for a new test very

shortly. I'll post the results.

Thanks for sending this Roni! A lot of good info. Always at the back

of my mind with DHEA is the risk of cancer; can't get past that. Which

is why it is a good idea to check with a medical adviser that we trust.

DHEA is cancer protective, as is iodine/iodide. Find a medical advisor with

some knowledge. MD has written about DHEA's benefits.
