Description
This episode describes in detail all the natural interventions (CoQ10, Carnitine, Gingko, Niacin, Dietary change etc) we can use for lowering Lipoprotein (a). It clears up the confusion regarding how they compare and in particular how and why the degree of efficacy can be patient specific. And why therefore a series of short trials of single agents is the only way to establish their true effectiveness in any given individual but equally, why ‘stacking’ of these will often ultimately be necessary for maximising risk reduction. A case discussion of a successful strategy in a 57Y female marries the research with the real world, as we answer all-important questions: How low can she go? How low to make meaningful change regarding her cardiovascular outcomes? And is what’s required to keep her Lp(a) low, sustainable and health-promoting all round as a ‘forever prescription’?
