[QUOTE="Neil, post: 213481, member: 16342"] If you were to consult with an MD or lipid guru, they would probably advise adding a statin to not only lower LDL, and it would lower overall particle numbers. But, my take is that you are pattern "A", so most likely in no danger. You could do a heart scan to see if you have coronary plaque. How much niacin are you taking? I've been taking 1,000mg Rugby crystalline niacin at bedtime for a decade (at times, it's a little brutal), my last blood draw was LDL 119, HDL 60, and Tri 81. Typically my LDL is around 100, but I've been on a KETO diet, so I think that's what's increasing it. I've found that I can easily modulate my LDL to any number I want with a combination of Now Brand Taurine and Doctor's Best Curcumin- no statin needed. By adding the taurine M-W-F and the curcumin twice a day, it will make my LDL go down to about 80. The taurine does darken the stool, I don't know why it does that. But anyway, I don't feel as well, as mentally sharp when my LDL is that low, so I haven't been continuing to do that. Anyway, with fish oil, niacin, curcumin, and taurine (and others), you can affect changes that are normally associated with pharma drugs like statins. [/QUOTE]
