how long before HDL returns to normal

[krustus]

i recently ran epistane for 3-4 weeks ... and my recent bloods all was good except my HDL was very low...doc was very concerned.

how long before it returns and anything i can do to help it?

Good fats, niacin, there are numerous ways to help. But raising hdl is tough

Try 4gm/ed fish oil and Beta-Sitosterols. Like Grim said, it's a bit tough. Diet, of course, is key. Use Green Tea, Vitamin D3, lower your triglycerides by eliminating ANY junk foods (diet crap food also) and your hdl will come back faster.

fiber, fiber, fiber!!!

I've been through this. I had heart attack stoke like levels. I had several threads started when homegrown took me under his wing. I had mine back on track rather quickly total was 387 at one point. HDL takes a little longer to build back up but if total is not out of control, then focus on raising the HDL. My doc know our game so he doesn't fret the small stuff. As long as Im in a range, he lets it go.

my total was OK...HDL was just low. fish oil and niacin right now.

will look into Beta-Sitosterols hanzo....

Citrus bergamot! Raised my friend's HDL 15 points on cycle with no other dietary/AAS changes. I will never go a day without citrus bergamot after seeing his bloods come back.
