Stoping RYR and trying Pantethine - High Cholesterol Message Board

Arizona77 · 08-20-2007, 04:59 PM

I have been on RYR for over three years. Right now here are my numbers of my test two weeks ago.

total 134
LDL 75
HDL 35
TG 83

I really want to stop the RYR and try 300mg Pantethine 3X a day. Has anyone had success with Pantethine? I heard it is also good at raising HDL slightly. I do not want to go with Niacin as my body can not tolerate it. Also my Doctor advised me not to take Niacin with RYR as it can be very bad combo and this was confirmed with my local pharmacist.

Please diss post I am going to continue to take RYR as it has been working so well.

What were your numbers like before you started taking red yeast rice?

Taking niacin with RYR is no different than taking niacin with statins - not a particular problem and especially with the low statin content in RYR. Your pharmacist and doctor are really stretching and I suspect they don't know anything about RYR

Nice numbers by the way if you can raise HDL a little

I did Pantethine for 3 years... 3 times a day. Did not notice any decernable changes in my cholesterol numbers.
