Reducing Cholesterol Experiment

[j2048b]

IM GLAD TO SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE RESpONDING WELL!! i for one, have not been able to lower my ldl or total cholesterol, no matter what i do, i did straight chicken, oatmeal, apple sauce diet for a couple months and it lowered to 239 total but my ldl WILL NOT COME DOWN BELOW 170..... ive tried ur regimen as well kel to no avail, my next venture is into the land of misfit injectablesinject able curcumin, res, and and few others ) that have been shown to lower inflammation and lower cholesterol thru a few of the other injectibles i forgot the names of haha

im gonna hop back onto kels regimen 1 last time for a month or 2 and see if it helps, ive also added in albana, as its supposed to help with lipids and such, but my lipids NEVER GO UP...

i know cardio will help added along side this as well, so i got to quit being a keyboard warrior and get er done...

also do u believe flush niacin is better than the slo-niacin? perhaps in my case it might be better?

[< <Samson> >]

I forgot to mention - the only other thing I started with is blood letting

No other dietary changes or anything else

[kelkel]

j2048b what RYR are you using?

[< <Samson> >]

I am going to carry on in this regimen. So far I see no negatives at all. The red yeast now tastes good to me - no joke. I drink it twice a day now.

I also started taking the niacin in 2 parts. One in the day and one at night. Sometimes I do just the one.

Still taking the NAC 2x every day.

And I am keeping my fiber intake at about a 50 gram a day minimum.


With the last test result my numbers are just as good if not better than before I even touched any gear at all.

Well that confirms that you have issues......

Shit, it's the only flavor I drink. Everything else is just water

[j2048b]

j2048b what RYR are you using?

The stuff from hardrhino.... I believe its what u had told me to get thru pm's

[kelkel]

That's what I hoped to hear.

[j2048b]

That's what I hoped to hear.

Y is that? Does it mean its bunk? Or still g2g? I got a ton haha and it has not seemed to help me?

Im also gonna try citrus bergamon next along w ip6 to hopefully help lower hematocrit as well as cholesterol....

[kelkel]

Meaning it's the right stuff. Look at your diet as well, particularly sugar intake.

I am going to start this stack. I was under impression red yeast rice is a pill but after reading Samson post seems he is using powder??? Not sure what to buy!

[Ironweb]

Great thread. Looking for ways to reduce mine and great ways shown here

[kelkel]

It's available in pill form but the US FDA has regulated out the use of natural statins that are in it. That makes it a guessing game if what you buy will be effective or worthless, imho. This is what you want:

Cheap, horrible tasting, yet effective.

[kelkel]

Blood work from a couple weeks ago came back. Still holding the same density pattern with the same supplement protocol.
So far, so good.



New level

Thank you Kel! Glad I asked.

It's no pill, it's a very strange tasting powder. At first I thought about capping it due the funky taste, but just stuck with the powder. Now, in some odd way I like it. . . . It's weirdest supp I tasted yet.

Something wrong with you Samson. Tastes terrible!!!!

Doesn't it? First handful of times I could barely take it down & now I look forward to it. Wth? I know the shit is way gross.

Oh well, I drink that crap 2x a day now. Along with taking psyllium husk 1-2x a day + NAC 2x a day & Slow Niacin once per day.

Seems to be doing wonders - my #'s are great & I'm not miserable taking any of the stuff at all.

I have a question about this stack. So you are taking 1200mg twice daily dr a total of 2400, correct??

Of what? The red east shit?

[GirlyGymRat]

yes the fowl tasting, doesn't mix well crap

[< <Samson> >]

yes the fowl tasting, doesn't mix well crap

Lmao - too funny

I do a rounded teaspoon at a time in about 4 ounces of water. I'd say at least 4-5x a week twice, the other days once.

Ok thanks.

[< <Samson> >]

Ok thanks.

No prob

As far as liking it - well, I guess it's an acquired taste

[GirlyGymRat]

Kel, do u suggest cycling NAC? There's a heavy metal thread in lounge and some ppl are suggesting they go on / off every 6 months

I haven't seen anything scientific to suggest it's needed but if it makes a person feel better, so be it. Found this article the other day:

Dose-related increase of HDL-cholesterol levels after N-acetylcyste... - PubMed - NCBI

Thank you sir. I just started but not worried until you do

[mxbrewski]

Kelkel I went to order the RYR and it appears to have been discontinued from the site. Have you been able to order it recently? And if it has, can you possibly recommend another brand?

[kelkel]

Where from? I just looked on Amazon and it shows up, although I did not try to order.

Hard Rhino Red Yeast Rice Bulk Powder.

[mxbrewski]

It was also on Amazon that I checked using your link, and it is still showing unavailable when I re-checked. Weird. Thx maybe just out of stock for the time being, but I checked Hard Rhino website and they do not show the product. Thank you for the response.

[OdinsOtherSon]

Update:
It appears the desired RYR, the pure Chinese form found at Hard Rh!no, is no longer available. I contacted H.R. several weeks ago. They informed me that it would be back in their inventory soon and was, at present, undergoing their, QA testing (whatever procedures they may use). But it has yet to show back up. If it does, I'm highly doubtful it will be the same product they once handled but time will tell I suppose. As we all know, the "good stuff" of any product always seems to go the way of the dinosaurs.

[kelkel]

Hi Odin. Long time no see.

Hopefully it comes back like normal. They don't suffer all the restrictions like those produced in the states so lets hope it's their normal, quality product.

[NACH3]

I've never tried this RYR powder... Also am supplementing NAC 3x daily, Vit D3(2-4000iu daily), glucosamine/condroiten and a men's one a day, fish oil, magnesium chelated, zinc, Taurine, Vit b6(we get plenty of B3 in our food), B12, vit C...

I want to get this RYR and try it out along w/Yohombine CHL(I hear it's good for Lower extremities - blood flow/circulation) anything for the uppers(arms or will that suffice?
Thx...

[kelkel]

Be sure it's Methyl B12.
Blood flow / circulation = arginine & citruline or low dose cialis.

Thx Kel for the tips(argenine & Cutruline - would you still supplement arginine tabs even if it's in my BCAAs and ON GS shks)?? It must act in a different manner?? Yup the Jarrows since I can't get inj... Looking at a RC if they carry inj b12(or another place) just have to do a quick search...

forgot to list cialis(5mg ed) that's why the NAC(also running an oral atm) but for the oxidation as it causes me some low back aches and leg aches...

Edit** got it.... Thx again!!!

Do I need to take cialis?

[NACH3]

Why you ask ? I know it helps w/BP, blood flow(now ) makes sense... It helps w/vascularity, Prostate(relaxes the muscles and I believe there's tons of nerves bundled around it), great pumps in the gym - it's almost like a pre w/o taking it b4 the gym...It can give some bad aches in your back(low), heartburn, my legs ache aswell) That's whyvi take NAC also(besides the oral) throughout the day w/vit C as it helps w/yhose aches(through oxidation w/the NAC/& Vit C has has been working...

I thought this protocol changed.
