Hey Bob, I have the same problem with my HDL and Triglycerides. Unfortunately it is genetic for me so my doc has me on Niacin and Fish Oil. I take around 5000mg of Niacin a day and 6000 mg of fish oil. We will see in six months if it is helping, otherwise he wants to put me on a statin. I am thinking of trying Acupuncturist to see if she can help.

The Niacin kicks my ass some times if I am not paying attention to when I take it, and taking 12 pills a day sucks.

Fortunately I am very athletic and work out hard at least twice a week and eat well. Congrats on your good news and keep it up!
