[QUOTE=The Mayor;3622007]taffyboyo,
Just so I understand your thinking, can you explain why I should forget about any more Niacin right now, Niaspan or otherwise?
Hiya Mayor,
No problem.
These are my personal thoughts, so my recommendation is based on safety, which is paramount where my family and friends are concerned (and little old me).
Summary: RYR can contain the full compliment of fourteen known monacolins. However, even RYR without monacolin 'k', but with approximately seven other monacolins of only a few milligrams. can lower cholesterol on par with a Lovastatin dose of 40mg. (Which you can now verify.)
RYR, like a statin does it's job of reducing LDL by working within the Liver.
Niacin, vitamin B3 is also a drug which is thought to do it's HDL reducing work on the surface of the liver. It is thought that Niacin decreases the surface expression of beta chain of ATP synthase in cultured HepG2 cells.
To you and me, results of a study published at the beginning of this month, indicate niacin hinders the liver from removing HDL from the blood, so maintaining high plasma HDL levels.
Now, why do I not recommend Niacin with RYR?
With RYR working within the liver and niacin working on the surface of the liver, and both having not been fully studied nor is it understood how they work, I believe that besides there being a high possibility of an interaction between the two (You may currently be experiencing an interaction with your particle size having changed), the liver is also working overtime. What happens when body organs work overtime? ( No, they don't get paid time and a half.);)
If you do not want to drink red wine (recommended) or change to using EVOO, then drop the 2gms a day of fish oil, and instead take 1gm Neptune Krill oil. Very expensive.
The EPA and DHA in fish oil are in the form of triglycerides.
By weight, Neptune Krill Oil is comprised of around 30 percent EPA and DHA and 40 percent phospholipids, mostly in the form of phosphatidylcholine.
A daily one gram dose of NKO has been proven to increase HDL on average from 57.2 mg/dL to 82.4 mg/dL (a 44 percent rise) in a 12-week, double-blind, randomized study. (Lower base figures are not mentioned.)
It's your choice my friend. I have already made mine and feel better for it.
