I have recently gone for a physical, and gotten a blood lipids test that seem much more detailed than what I would usually get. Beside relatively high LDL it seems that the particles are of the 'wrong' size and homocysteine is quite high. CRP is not too bad (1.0).
Here are the test results (only out of range values listed)
lipids
Total choloesterol 203 mg/dL
LDL-C direct 142 mg/dL
lipoprotein particles
Apo B 113 mg/dL
LDL-P 2203 nmol/L
Small LDL-P 1214 nmol/L
sd LDL-C 33 mg/dL
HDP-P 28.9 mmol/L
Lp(a)-P 50 nmol/L
Homocysteine 17
Desmosterol 1.28
hs omega 3 index 3.9
I started taking the following supplements for lowering general inflammation, cholesterol and homocysteine:
boswellia serrata 300 mg
circumin (revgen) 23g
green tea extract 400mg
garlic 1g (5% alicin)
stanols and sterols (colestoff) 900mg
niacin 1g flushing
folic acid 2.5 mg
b6 25 mg
b12 2 mg
I am not taking fish oil supplements, but I am eating a can of sardines in olive oil 5 days a week.
My doctor recommended Lipitor - which I refuse to take.
He also recommended:
metanx, krill oil and B vitamin supplements.
I would very much appreciate any comment / additions / subtractions from my current regimen.
