Hi Everybody,

I went to the Dr. today for the results of the blood test I took last week and here are the results I said I'd report back with.

Been taking Pantethine for three months 300 mg Jarrows every night. No change in my cholesterol at all, not even a couple of points. Doc is insisting I need to go on Pravachol because he says it has less of the side effects that made me so miserable with the other ones.

Unfortunately I guess I am not one of the lucky ones for whom this supplement works.

Evelyn, the dose in the research that I took for excellent results was 450mg twice per day. I don't think you gave it an adequate trial. There's nothing to say you couldn't take even more than that, but nothing to say that the dose you took is effective.


I will probably keep on taking it since I have it anyway,
and perhaps it will be beneficial in some way, but the numbers did not bear out the expectations. 

You didn't take the well studied therapeutic dose.  :-(

I won't tell you what you should do, but I will say that there's no good reason to believe pantethine has failed you.

I hope you'll consider trying to up the dose, it's atoxic even in end stage renal and hepatic patients.
