8grams vitC
k2
niacin
9 grams lysine/proline(pills+eggwhites)

Consumption of a defined, plant-based diet reduces lipoprotein(a), inflammation, and other atherogenic lipoproteins and particles within 4 weeks
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30014498

CONCLUSIONS:

A defined, plant-based diet has a favorable impact on Lp(a), inflammatory indicators, and other atherogenic lipoproteins and particles. Lp(a) concentration was previously thought to be only minimally altered by dietary interventions. In this protocol however, a defined plant-based diet was shown to substantially reduce this biomarker. Further investigation is required to elucidate the specific mechanisms that contribute to the reductions in Lp(a) concentrations, which may include alterations in gene expression.

I lowered my LP(a) to the bottom end of the range in 3 weeks time by Consuming Daily:
1 Handful of Walnuts and Some Almonds, along with Avocado's, 2 tablespoons Olive Oil, 3 Eggs (per wk.)
Stopping Sugars, and Refined Carbs. I Don't take a Statin, I do eat lots of vegies, but also eat meat.
I do PT also, but have been doing that for almost a year.

Here are the Labs before and After:
7/01/2019 Apolipoprotein A-1 243 mg/dL 101-178

7/23/2019 Apolipoprotein A-1 117 mg/dL 101-178

Apolipoprotein A-1 is not Lipoprotein little a = Lp(a)

Apolipoprotein B-100 is a substitution marker for LDL particle number = LDLp
Apolipoprotein A-1 for HDLs.

Though they might not actually correlate with LDL and HDL mass meassurments, because both can be very small and dense, more arterogenic, and therefore with much higher number than by mass.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipoprotein(a)

Lp(a) doesn't have a lowest range. Zero would be optimal.
