Some info on My Cholest Numbers:

Have been taking p/day (started on 12/15/04):

RYR 600 MG
Fish Oil 1000MG
CQ-10 100MG

DATE: 12/15/04 1/15/05 (RYR)
HDL 34 31
LDL 158 153
Tri 278 150
Total 245 214

Is the RYR doing anything here?

Thanks,
Fabian

I thought most take 1200mg of ryr /day. I think the capsules usually come in 600, but recommend taking more than one.

Yes, 1200 is recommended.. I was getting dizzy at 1200.. maybe I should try to start that dosage again..

The most striking change has been in the reduction of your triglycerides. That is significant. I know that a substantial amount of fish oil can significantly lower triglycerides, but are you also making dietary changes, such as reducing your carbohydrate intake?

Yep,

As ARIZONA sid, the only significant change is the drastic change in the triglycerides. Unfortunately, you can't take those numbers to the bank because triglycerides are volatile and often reflect more of what you've eaten in the last 36 hours than the general state of your vascular health.
Don't get me wrong though, low triglycerides are VERY desirable and whatever is doing it is doing it, whether diet, statin, or supplements, it's doing it WELL.

I think more RYR is needed to get the LDL down, the 600 mg. isn't doing the trick (RYR is a very WEAK statin.)
