Hi Jan.

First, let me say that for a woman of 72, your figures are very very good.
Your LDL/HDL ratio is only 2.37 and the TC/HDL is 3.81. There are members of this board who are many many years younger, that would love to have as low a ratio reading.

Now, when you say past figures, were those first figures taken prior to the intake of the statins?

Have you currently any heart or blood circulation problems?
If you have, then for a woman of your age you really should be on 300mg of COq10 a day. ( 3 x 100mg spread through the day with meals.)
If no heart problems then with RYR, take 200mg (1 x morning, 1 x evening with meals.)
Even if not taking RYR, nor have heart problems, then take 1 x 100mg COq10, as everyone over fifty should be doing.

Don't waste your money on cheap supermarket COq10 capsules, unless they are 100% Kaneka Q10 based products. In other words, they won't provide the body with the protection that has been proved over and over to work in Japan.

Fish oil: Ensure that the daily total EPA is equal to or greater than (=>) 600mg, and the DHA is =>400mg.

Jan, the RYR capsule....take with your evening meal/snack/supper, not on it's own with water. If you start to suffer from thigh/calf pains, then stop the RYR immediately, but continue with the oil and q10.

As far as I can see, if you have no heart problems now, you really just need to get your 'trig' fats down and the EPA+DHA (min. of 1000mg per day) will do that for you.

Good luck.
