Written by Barrett Niehus


Continued from page 1

So what isrepparttar challenge? If your doctor have recommended that you lower your cholesterol level or worse, is threatening to put you on a statin drug. Try using these compounds instead. For eight weeks, on a daily basis take 500 mg of pantethine and 400 mg of niacin and see what effect it has on your cholesterol level. I know you will be as pleasantly surprised as I was

These compounds are effective, and there is data to back up that claim. However, a word of caution, with niacin. When you go torepparttar 115310 drug store or natural foods market, make sure you buy niacin that is labeled time-release. Niacin is effective on cholesterol, but niacin supplements have a harmless side effect known as a niacin flush. This isrepparttar 115311 equivalent to a vitamin hot flash. Although harmless, a niacin flush can be uncomfortable for about a half hour. Ifrepparttar 115312 form of niacin that you take is not in a time-release dosage, a niacin flush may ensue. So be wary. Other than that, with any supplement do not exceedrepparttar 115313 recommended dosage.

If you have questions aboutrepparttar 115314 two compounds, do what I did. Start with research onrepparttar 115315 net, then move to reading clinical abstracts and reports. Just rememberrepparttar 115316 challenge. I challenge you to lower your cholesterol to a healthy level without using a statin drug. Good health and good luck
