Bad Cholesterol Vs Good Cholesterol
Cholesterol 282?
My cholesterol naturally is about 282, HDL 52, LDL 192. With Zocor 20 mg of Zocor it drops to 200 but the HMO stopped Zocor and went to generic (bad juju, socialized med). The generic was 257. Not good!
I am taking 250 mg of Niacin have taken red rice yeast a year ago.
What are the down sides of niacin or red rice yeast/ Expensive drugs are not the answer. Is my ratio of HLD/LDLs good and overall cholesterol not of a great concern? Don’t start with the exercise and diet! I do 5 miles a day and don’t say the word Hamburger. It is genetics. My liver makes cholesterol from celery.
My question is, niacin vs red rice yeast and the amount?
Genetics really do play a big part in your cholesterol #`s. Been there, done that, watched every bite I ate, did very little good, told by my doctor it was genetics for some people. If you`re a male, your HDL is normal (40-50) female (50-60) the higher the # the better. For the LDL 192 is very high, not good, optimal range is 100/129, the lower the # the better. Here`s a site you might want to look at.
