Cholesterol Questions

[Cpt. Caveman]

Hey everybody . . . i've been out awhile due to military duty and travel. It's good to be back. While I was out . . . I ate like **** and didn't get to lift very much.

I went to the doc 6 months ago and he said I have high cholesterol. Everything else checked out fine. I want to hit a cycle this summer but I am worried about the effects on my cholesterol levels. Am I at risk?

I have to go back next week to get checked again and if it's still high he wants to put me on medication. I do not want to do that! Any suggestions or direction?

Re: Cholesterol Questions

As much as it sucks, yes, you're at risk. One of the side effects of Testosterone is raised cholesterol levels. I went for blood work 3 years ago after running a 4 month cycle. My cholesterol was 295. I took apple cider vinegar and Omegas, and brought it down considerably. But after I started back on the test, it went back up to abut 255. So I had to start taking Zetia. Which BTW, Zetia is the best if you're on a cycle, because it doesn't put any more stress on your liver.

Re: Cholesterol Questions

yeah bro the advice up there is good, sounds like u have hereditary high levels, more and more docs are prescribing these drugs , they are a no brainer esp if u are on cycle, zetia is a good call with liver values being a concern, also tons of omega 3,6,9 also

Re: Cholesterol Questions

I would not start a cycle if my cholesterol levels are high. Plenty of ways to bring it down and then do a cycle.
