[QUOTE="JimGainz, post: 201068, member: 19127"] You can also try lowering your dose or taking Crestor every other day - it’s been proven to still be about 80-90% effective as taking it every day. FWIW I take 5 mg daily it it took me from 230 total and 125 ldl to about 135 total and 65 LDL. My best friend from college is a cardiologist. He is into fitness and a former bodybuilder (so very performance focused). He says that statins are a life saver for many people and he puts most patients on a low dose after age 45 depending on certain risk factors, even if cholesterol is only slightly elevated. This was from seeing over 10,000 patients, doing his own independent research, and seeing the benefits clinically. He said it’s less about the total amount of cholesterol but that statins change the lining of blood vessels and also help make the particles less prone to clog, helping prevent strokes as well as heart disease. This is a highly contested subject so we all need to do our research and make our own decisions. After seeing 3 other friends from high school and college die from sudden massive heart attacks in the last two months, who were otherwise healthy and fit, I am glad I’ve been taking statins.
