I need to know if anyone had had success with guggl lipid I am taking it 4 times a day plus 1000 mgs of fish oil as well. I can't take any of the other meds and I am hoping tht this helps me. It would help me greatly to hear some success stories. My next step is taking niacin and I am so afraid of getting the hot flashes. My friend takes the non flush niacin and says that it is not too bad but she only takes 500 mgs and I don't know if this is enough to do anything. Any advice??

If I recall,the question you asked in reference to niacin was answered by myself and I think gooba. 500mg is not high enough to make a difference.1000mg and higher is what you have to take to see a significant change.I am on 1500mg/day.

What is gooba? I am on guggl lipid- about 2000 mgs a day. Is that what you are talking about? THe niacin is only 500 mgs that I am going to try I just wanted to know if it is even worth taking- M

I meant Gooba as who answered a question for you and you had a discussion with.As for the Niacin.Each person is affected by medication in different ways.Try it.You may get better results at a lower dose.

Hi Mandie
I have been taking 1000 mg per day for several years now. It's greatest efect has been on my HDL (good chol) which has risen from 37 to 65. I take 500 mg after breakfast and 500 after supper. Mild flushing is the only side effect and it is not bothersome at all.

"Important thing is to go low on your carbohydrate intake..Going low carbohydrate improves the effects of guggul dramatically. It seems that if you cut down your intake of carbohydrates, especially the grains, and at the same time increased your protein intake, you create in your body favorable conditions for the normalization of cholesterol in your body."
