Hi,

I too came across some information re: Nician
June 31, 2006 the University of Maryland Medical Center is one of 60 sites in nationwide study that is looking at the results of adding Nician to statins.
This study is called : Aim-High --------Michael Miller, MD

Also a good many year ago, while driving I came across a radio show. I have no idea what show or who the speaker was. But, the speaker was supporting the use of Nician and Coq10 in lowering the TC.
