    Anyone ever seen cholesterol numbers like this?

    Total Cholesterol...5.98 High but not that bad. My doctor said the more important aspect is the ratio of good to bad.

    Good HDL = .25
    Bad LDL = 5.29

    TG was good .96
    Ratio of good to bad is 23.9...4x the recommended limit

    I was just finishing my cycle, (winny 100mg/d, test 500wk and had finished tren and masteron a couple weeks earlier), so I've learned that the numbers will be bad, but any suggestions to get this number back in check. I was feeling incredibly lethargic and was concerned that something was wrong with my health, thats why I got blood work done near the end of my cycle...I'll get it tested again in two months.

    Any suggestions are appreciated.

    Those numbers do not seem correct, I have always seen them as whole numbers. Ldl would not go down on gear, ldl is what you Want low!

    look ppl. Estrogen is good at increasing HDL(good cholesterol). DHT blocks estrogen. DHT derived roids like tren(yhough a 19-nor, its still 5 alpha reduced), mast, and winny will put cholesterol at an unfavorable ratio, especially if an oral c17, as anything that causes liver stress will cause changes in lipids too..
    I would take niacin year round if thats what you plan to run frequnetly. But really, try to use things that arent so harsh on cholesterol. U live an learn.
    But heart attacks can happen in the 20's. One article in mens halth like 5 years ago talked about a 22 year old BB who had MASSIVE atertial sclarosis. You really have to watch the lipids on roids. Authur L. Rea says that the one side effect that is most of a concern with steroid users is cardiovascular health. With many of the "hardening" compunds this is true, or when over doing anti-estrogens, namely letrozole(femara).
    Niacin is vitamin b-3. it ups HDL the good cholesterol. But beware of the infamous "niacin flush". Read up on it, expect it, dont freak out, and make niacin part of your life. Just keep an eye on homocystein with niacin as it sometimes raises it.
    Peace.
