Believe me, I've run the gamut for years over cholesterol . My HDL hovers around 54-60, but that's not enough to carry out the 200+ LDL. I have been on a hydrosoluable CoQ10 (60mg/day) for a long time, knowing about the depletion of CoQ10 from the statins. I've tried Policosonol, high amounts of garlic, plant sterols, high fibers and steel cut oatmeal; just can't get it below 200.
What I'm asking is . . . IS SJW contraindicative to statins to the point that they absolutely SHOULD NOT be taken together? And, IS THERE any other supplement, vitamin, or herb that provides the same benefits as St. John's Wort???
