HDL Cholesterol
(range should be 55 - 120 ideal range is 37 - 70)
HDL cholesterol is comprised mostly of protein and phospholipid. HDL along with APO-E will redistribute cholesterol
to our cells for growth and steroid synthesis, and will return cholesterol to the hepatocytes. Normal range for
HDL is 50 to 55 and greater. If HDL is too elevated, one will suspect the possibility of autoimmune disease. If
it is too low (less than 35) cardiovascular risk climbs rapidly. It is found to be decreased in essential fatty acid deficit and liver dysfunction.
The following nutritional agents may be considered for those with low HDL cholesterol values:
- Niacin Sustained Release - 1-2 tablets 3 times daily
- Vitamin E
E-Complex 1:1 - 2-4 capsules daily
- EPA/DHA
EPA-DHA Extra Strength - 1 softgel 3 times daily
- L-Carnitine with Chromium (picolinate or glucose tolerance factor): Note: chromium travels on transferrin
as does iron. Before arbitrarily giving large doses of chromium, make sure that there is adequate transferrin levels.
L-Carnitine 500 - 2-3 tablets daily in-between meals
- Exercise
- Restrict intake of hydrogenated oils
Cholesterol/HDL cholesterol ratio is an important indicator of CVD risk. A ratio less than 3.1 is considered ideal. Ratios of 4.0 down to 3.1 are considered adequate. Ratios higher than 4.0 create an environment for increasing risk of CVD.
