I had good luck (over a 2 month period) using Pantethine, plant
sterols, and niacin.

I took 2 300mg caps of the Pantethine, 2 500mg tabs of niacin, and 4
tabs of the plant sterols (half in the AM, the rest at night).

Just be careful with the niacin as it may bite you if you don't take
it with food ;-)

Also, none of this helped my HDL :(
The Doc said the best thing was a good workout.
I said I'd work on it <g>.
