Hi Owen my name is Mark I have been taking 2 scoops of cardio c daily for 2 1/2 months now. Just had blood work done and lpa number never changed at 188 lpa. Total cholesterol at 150 tri at 80 Hdl at 66 ldl at 69. I was really hoping it would have went down. I also have been doing chelation therapy for once a week for 10 weeks now. I do get some diaherra any help would be greatly appreciated. Mark
Given you very low total cholesterol number (yours is 150 and normal is 180 mg/dl) I gather the Lp(a) number is nmol/l. Please verify and remind me of the range for Lp(a) given on the lab report.
And since Lp(a) is a fraction of LDL -and your total LDL is 69 - I suspect the Lp(a) is calculated, rather than measured. (If the numbers are correct, more than half your LDL is Lp(a), which would imply that Pauling's invention, Lp(a) binding inhibitors, are very important in your case, no matter whether your Lp(a) lowers or not.
In our experience, it takes more than six months, and perhaps up to 18 months, for Lp(a) levels to drop.
For the Diarrhea, try 2/3 scoops, three times daily (instead of 1 scoop, 2 times daily) - spread out a lower dosage.
