No, it's because my heart rate has been really high lately and I think it's just that I haven't been doing much cardio, but since I've been injesting about 250-300g of protein a day, much from beef, I thought my increased heart rate was from cholesterol. Also, my family has a history of high cholesterol levels, so I thought that might be part of it as well.adidamps2 said:

Here is some info.
Supplements can also help. Antioxidants, like Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Selenium, and Zinc can help neutralize free radicals before they form the plaque that can leave deposits. Fatty acids, such as EPA and DHA which are found in Omega 3 fish oils, may also help break apart triglycerides in the blood, lowering their levels in the body.
Plant sterols and stanols are also proven natural cholesterol reducers. Until now these ingredients were mainly found in specialty margarines and salad dressings. More than 40 years of research, including hundreds of clincial studies on plant sterols and stanols, have demonstrated their ability to reduce cholesterol levels safely and effectively. Sterols and Stanols work to lower cholesterol levels by blocking LDL`s ability to re-absorb into the body. Proprietary clinical studies conducted by Novartis Consumer Health, a world leader in nutritional science, found that 1.8 grams per day of Reducol, the main ingredients in sterols and stanols, lower LDL cholesterol levels by up to 24 percent when used in conjunction with a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol.

I guess I don't know what you mean? Is it worth having lowered cholesterol - YES does a great job.
Is it worth not feeling hot and itchy? I guess that depends on if you like that or not.
Its not anymore expensive.

Flush free niacin can be used up to 1g 3x daily i beleive, look into policosinol, red yeast rice, and kyolic garlic extract has been shown to mimic the effects of hdl in the body. All good supps. Usually supps like r-ala, green tea, and alcar help. They can be picked up at the anabolic fitness store. They have great stuff.
