I Just implemented autoship on Ascorcine-9 and made initial purchase of VCF Ascorbade. My question: To reduce total cholesterol 282, LDL 191, HDL 64, do I have the best combination of products? and if not, please suggest those that would produce fastest results, and the dosage(s).
I've been cautioned (lay people) that too much vitamin C thickens arteries, and I've also read that there is no evidence, if this were the case, of heart attacks, strokes, etc., which there surely would have been.
I've used Tower Heart Technology products in the past -- made the mistake of not continuing on. There is no Vitamin C out there that compares.
Thanks,
Ms. F. G.
Your cholesterol numbers indicate to me that you are not taking the optimal amount of vitamin C. Each serving of A-9 provides 3000 mg and each serving of Ascorbade provides 4000 mg of vitamin C as ascorbic acid.
While I might cut those serving sizes in half, and take twice as frequently, I'd also consider adding some vitamin C in between. Optimally, 500 mg or 1 g every 4 hours between servings.
I take around 20,000 mg of vitamin C daily (mostly ascorbic acid). My total cholesterol is below 160 mg/dl, which is a little scary (low) but I feel fine.
The more you take and tolerate, the faster your cholesterol will come down.
As far as "thickening" the arteries, tell your friends that is exactly what you want - from increased collagen, not from plaque. The USC story made news, but they were not measuring narrowing - just arterial thickness.

why thicker arteries are what you want (less chance of rupturing leading to a clot and/or heart attack)
