💊Watch this before you take a statin for “high cholesterol.”

There is a BIG difference between LDL-C and LDL-P.

The -C stands for cholesterol. This is the amount, or mass of cholesterol being carried in the LDL particles, or “ships.”

The -P stands for particles. This is the number of LDL particles, or “ships” in your bloodstream.

A study found that those who had the LOWEST LDL-C but the HIGHEST LDL-P had the highest cardiovascular incident risk.

Those with the HIGHEST LDL-C and the LOWEST LDL-P had the lowest risk.

The more LDL particles you have, the greater your risk of atherosclerosis. Low LDL-C only mattered if LDL-P was also low.

We need to shift the LDL conversation from how to lower LDL-C to how to lower LDL-P.

Statins may have adverse effects such as:
💪Muscle pain/weakness, fatigue
🧠Memory problems
🩸Elevated blood sugar levels.
