Lowering Cholesterol Supplements

[whereami]

As you all may have seen my thread about my high cholesterol I have decided to take supplements to try to get it down. I have decided to retest in a couple of months and even if it doesnt go down Im gonna try other supplements and other ways before I resort to meds or maybe just give it more time.

So this is my lowering cholestrol list:

CoQ10 100mg
Odorless Garlic 1000mg
No Flush Niacin 1000 mg


Im currently taking:

Multivitamin Active without Iron
Calcium 1000mg plus Magnesium 400mg
Fish Oil 1000 mg
Flax Seed Oil 2000mg

Im just looking for advice as to if any of the things that I am currently taking are not okay to take with the coq10, garlic and niacin.

thanks in advance.

Re: Lowering Cholesterol Supplements

I wouldn't think so, but I am not 100% sure. I wouldn't start taking supplements by ear... Did you discuss your list of supplements with a doctor?

Re: Lowering Cholesterol Supplements

To tell you the truth I didnt....I have made an appointment but its not for another week or so. But I thought I would try them out and see how my body reacts....this is day 3 taking them and so far so good I guess. Plus she wants me to take meds for the high cholestrol and didnt recommend any supplements then.

I am taking with me Dr. Eades blog post on cholestrol and some other stuff that I found that should help her make a better decision about me and maybe get her to do a more detailed cholestrol profile test or whatever you call it.

But the more I read the more I am convinced that my numbers werent that bad at all and the fact that my triglycerides were 32 that I am more healthy and have the fluffy particles so I am not that worried anymore and probably dont really need these supplements but I will add them just to see if I can get the numbers lower.
