My total cholesterol level is 121.

LDL = 58
Vldl = 23

Primo hits my hdl too - nothing else though but in similar dosage range (test 500 primo 600) I came in mid 20s with my normal range being 38-44. I can be low 20s on 400-500mg of tren for 12 weeks alongside 50mg winstrol ED as well which is infinitely more effective for the same hdl impairment (granted other markers move but on me nothing too bad).HDL- 22
LDL- 130
TRIG- 95
Total - 172
On 500/500 test primo right now. Does a number to my HDL

Think estrogen has something to do with it? Primo brings mine down pretty low. Last test showed e2 of 15.Primo hits my hdl too - nothing else though but in similar dosage range (test 500 primo 600) I came in mid 20s with my normal range being 38-44.

I don't have my numbers with me now but last cruise was roughly:
HDL 43-44
LDL 60s
TRIS 60s

There’s so much more to plaque build up and heart disease than total cholesterol levels. In fact, cholesterol levels are low on the list for causing a heart attack. For example, a close friend of mine who is 60 years old had a widow maker heart attack last year while training legs. A piece of plaque broke lose from his main left coronary artery while doing walking lunges when blood pressure was being elevated. The plaque travelled downward into the Left anterior descending artery and the circumflex. Blocked off both of those arteries 100%. My friend was lucky to survive. He now has permanent heart damage with an ejection fraction rate of only 40%. His cholesterol levels are always impeccable.My total is usually around 175-210. My LDL can fluctuate wildly but usually it's right around there for my total. Your numbers are wild man (I don't mean that bad), but that is about the lowest ldl I've ever seen.
From the research I've read, there is a lot of disagreement on LDL but the one common theme I notice is general alignment that if your ldl is under ~70 you will not accrue plaque. Take that for what's it's worth I know many disagree on LDL.

HDL = 66
LDL = 30
VLDL = 18
Triglycerides= 85
NOTE: this is why you can have a stress test by the cardiologist and he says you are fine (no blockages). You walk out of their office to get into your car and drop dead in the parking lot from a heart attack because some built up plaque broke lose. SCARY!
Just great genetics? Or have a protocol you follow for cholesterol?Last set of labs:
1000 Test C
800 Primo
Total: 87
HDL: 30
LDL: 44
Trigs: 45
APO B: 46
Lipoprotein (a): <10
Estradiol was 14 so that is a bit low for me. I prefer mine to be closer to 30-40 but lipids were still good considering.

I bet the high dose of primo lowered your estrogen too much. That seems to be common with primo.Last set of labs:

I agree with your statements about the statins. I believe they do more harm than good.Over the last 30 years mine has ranged from
130-155 Total
38-49 HDL
75-95 LDL
9-14 VLDL
Trig 30-50
Usually in the mid range of those numbers. Cycles and diet seem to not have a huge effect on me. Never used a statin. They would be an absolute last resort for me as i have not seen where they actually help with longevity.
Since Red yeast rice prevents the body from “making” as much cholesterol and beta sisterols prevent the body from “absorbing” as much cholesterol—I bet those 2 supplements are benefitting you the most out of this long list.Nope- my lipids aren't greta naturally. I've posted my "concoction" on a few threads over the years. It has morphed a bit over time.
When I'm on a cruise I use only
-Ezetimibe 10mg
-Krill 6 grams
-Omega Via 4 grams
-1200mg Jarrow Red yeast rice extract
While on a blast, my protocol is below:
Ezetimibe 10mg
Krill Oil: 6 grams a day (2g 3x/day with meals)
Omega Via 4 grams
Jarrow Red Yeast Rice Extract 1 600mg cap, 2x a day (with meals)
Pantethine: 450mg (2x a day with meals)
Beta Sisterol: 2 grams (1 gram 2x a day with meals)
NOW Policosanol 1cap 2x a day (with meals)
Cardarine 20mg/day
What is your cholesterol levels without the Lipitor?300 test 300 primo 40mg a day of lipitor. Cholestrol 121 ldl 51 hdl 40.
