My husband has been taking the Cardio C for over a month now and has just had his cholesterol tested. His overall number is higher (8.1, up from 6.7) and his triglycerides are higher 6.2 (don't have previous to hand).
I know that Cardio-C is not a miracle cure, my husband says he feels better than he has in years. His diet contains alot of animal protein and he would probably drink a half bottle of wine a day. He stopped taking a statin before starting this product. He is 50 years old and had 2 stents put in Feb.2002. Should he expect a peak as the body adjusts itself? I really don't want him back on Lipitor.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated
Thank you
H.

Everything sounds good to me, what is your concern exactly?
If a rise in cholesterol after stopping a statin drug bothers you, then by all means, go back on the statin. However, in my opinion, lowering cholesterol is exactly the WRONG thing to do.
It is a symptom, and after the underlying problem is resolved, cholesterol will lower naturally.

This post contains my my standard answer why one should welcome, and not
be afraid of higher cholesterol numbers.
