Lp(a) elevations
Research Cardiologists found my Lp(a) Lipoprotein (a) was elevated 4x more than normal limits. I was told that elevation alone raised chances of blocked artery at a young age approximately 30x. My levels are in the normal range now due to intake of 2,500 mg daily of prescription Niaspan. The elevation is 100% genetic and Lp(a) is not reduced by vegetarian diet or exercise.

Do you take any supplements to offset the effects of the prescriptions drugs.
If so, how are they helpful?
Supplements I have been on since 2003 include:
200mg daily CoQ10
High Quality Mens Multivitamin
Prescription B6, B12, Folic Acid
Fish Oil; 1 tsp; 2x a day
