I started taking 1000 mg Niacin SR two weeks ago for cholesterol; I don't think I am tolerating it well. I take the True-Liposomal Vitamin C daily, one teaspoon. Do you sell a product that would be good for lowering cholesterol but without stevia?
Vitamin C powder.
As far as I know, nothing is better than optimal vitamin C for regulating cholesterol to 180 mg/dl.
What are your numbers? Even if you cannot tolerate stevia, you may be able to tolerate ascorbic acid powder. I don't know if you follow our forum, but my cholesterol, which was 180 for a long time, dropped to 170 mg/dl when I added lysine, is now around 130 mg/dl - or too low!
Linus Pauling (and associates) identified a single (sticky) form of LDL cholesterol called Lp(a). This is the dangerous cholesterol that can form atherosclerotic plaques. Pauling's invention to make Lp(a) less sticky is to add lysine to vitamin C. (later research at the Univ. of Chicago shows that proline is also involved.) Depending on your Lp(a) reading, you would also want to consider the amino acid lysine. Both lysine and vitamin C are available in drug stores as pills.
