I refused. I had too many side effects. My numbers were high and have serious genetic predisposition as well. I made serious lifestyle changes with diet (following clean Mediterranean) daily exercise and take citrus bergamot supplementation daily per functional medicine recommendations. Just had repeat blood work after 3 months and EVERY one of my cholesterol numbers are completely normal, Including APOB, ldl, triglycerides, total cholesterol and ratios. HDL also excellent. It can be done without statins!! Must be diligent.
I recently started berberine in the morning & lion's mane at night, replacing metformin. I'm cost-limited, but is there a particular brand & mg you could suggest? Thanks.
Metformin also appears as #4 in the list of tier 1 supplements in Dr. Paul Marik's book Cancer Care. Published by flccc.net , it is available as a free download or can be purchased in a book form on Amazon.
Hope you meant "nightly". Bergamot photosensitizes. Perhaps, like St. John's wort, useful in very small doses in the morning to counter SAD, but very much of it also increases risk of sunburn.
I also started Citrus Bergamot and Nattokinase in lieu of statin along with the turmeric I had already been taking. Didn’t get my Apo rechecked but all is good except my HDL decreased as well. Also lost 20lb and I hear that can affect HDL a bit.

Metformin is the fountain-of-middle-age:

Dr. Marik follows the God of Love, and he is also brilliant.
Be cautious Dawn.
I take a brand from toplux nutrition ( purchased very reasonably on Amazon) 1500 mg. I do take at night before bed.

Ah, I see. Yes, I'm reading about side effects, especially in the elderly. May still consider it, at least to try it. Thank you.
