So dealing with this bacteria junk the last couple of years has, of course, mucked with other bodily functions.
My HDL level is low. I don't have the number in front of me as the results are being mailed to me. I think if the low limit is around 35, then mine is in the low 20's right now. A year ago, it was around 32.
I also have low testosterone and low vitamin D levels. I think the testosterone is connected in some way, but I'm not sure about the D.
The only prescription I take is Atenolol for PAC's/PVC's 25 mg. It seems that this can possibly reduce HDL levels.
I take CoQ10 and fish oil everyday (good brands). I am considering adding more vitamin C, zinc, and tribulus terrestris to my supplements, as these appear to help with testosterone and HDL.
Obviously, make sure I get exercise, have a good diet, and maybe have some red wine daily. I don't eat much fast food and I plan on cutting out more sugar and carbs from my diet.
Suggestions for natural solutions to low HDL? My other cholesterol numbers are good.
I always get confused on much of each supplement to take also. I take 200 mg CoQ10 daily and 800EPA/400DHA of fish oil (2 capsules). I'll probably add 1000 mg of the tribulus (1 tablet) before bedtime.
Thanks in advance.
