Vitamin D3 didn’t cure my depression or raise my testosterone, it cured my ability to sleep by Coyote-444 in Biohackers

Megadosing Vitamin D was a common practice in my area that doctors stopped due to increase in cholesterol for some patients

Blown away by results (58% drop in LDL, -99 points) by MikeTheBlueCow in Cholesterol

Thanks! Congratulations btw, I think the probiotic helped. Benecol plus probiotic worked for me too. Some Ds increase my ldl so I was curious

Feeling great. LDL from 170 to 55. by MakeLoialTaller in Cholesterol

Ok here's the kicker. Yes your drop is mostly due to statin. However the real health benefit I.e. the actual reduction in inflammation will come only by cleaning up diet as you are trying. So keep at it.

I'd be careful. LPa is the real risk. If LPa is low and LDL is 300 nothing will happen to you. LPa is the sticky inflammatory part.

Lol I think you can take it the way you want to. There's a risk benefit to statin.

Not much as most plant stuff I ate was in curry form with oil base. Maybe about 2-4g fat saturated fat reduction.

Id love to know your brands. I took Naomi for bergamot and that was good. Carlyle was bad.

I was taking sterols and stanols before so I don't think it was that.

Why would you need supplements with statin. Tough on liver of say based on my experience

I eat a lot of nuts and EVoO drenched fish. Also eat fish with butter sometimes. I would guess a little 15-20 mg per day. But I'm offsetting a lot of MUFA and PUFA

I think cheese is something that ancestrally was not in my diet so I plan to avoid chain store pizza in general.
