What Are The Consequences Of High Cholesterol

There are no symptoms of high cholesterol, that is what makes it so dangerous. This Mayo Clinic article, however, points out that there are some collateral effects and there is every indication that it should be measured often by blood testing.

There is bad cholesterol (LDL) and good cholesterol (HDL) and both will be measured (usually along with triglyceride levels). Foods and eating are the simplest way of controlling your cholesterol, but at times your doctor will prescribe a plethora of drugs that include statins to help you control it.

There are supplements that can substitute for statins effectively and it should be noted, that statins can cause other difficulties that supplementation can also address, like shortages of CoQ10 (your body makes less and less beginning at age 30). I have had tremendous results using products from a 30 year old company that develops and manufactures the most effective supplements available to consumers without prescription.
