OTHER OPTIONS
Given inositol hexaniacinate’s effectiveness, that’s probably a good choice to try first. However, if you cannot tolerate inositol hexaniacinate, there are more options you can try.
PANTETHINE
Pantethine, a stable form of vitamin B5, inhibits the production of cholesterol by the liver. In a one-year clinical trial conducted with 24 patients, pantethine was shown to decrease LDL (the bad cholesterol) by 21% and increase HDL (the good cholesterol) by 23%, with virtually no toxicity (Effectiveness of long-term treatment with pantethine in patients with dyslipidemia, Clin Ther. 1986;8(5):537-45).
The dosage of pantethine usually recommended for cholesterol management by experts is 300 mg, 3 times a day.
