High LDL and anastrazole - What to do

[triathloncoach]

My bloodwork just came back and my LDL was 148. Aside from the obvious - it's the gear, I thought I read that anastrazole also has a negative impact on LDL. High LDL is new for me, as is the gear. What are people doing to keep their lipids under control?

fish oil

Nature's Plus or Hi Tech's Red Yeast Rice - 1200 mg
2000iu Cholecalciferol liquid capsule
1T of Lecithin in your protein shakes
and 500mg Niacin (immediate release) if your HDL's are low.
This program took my LDL from over 200 down to 98

switch to aromasin as its not harsh on lipids

Agreed, I recently had my HRT doc switch me to aromasin because arimidex was killing my HDL. However, I find this confusing because from what I have read, AIs only impact your HDL because of lowering E2 too much. The effects of AIs in males seems under studied. From my experience, I'd say Arimidex seems to directly effect HDL, even if you don't lower E2 "too much." My hope is that Aromasin doesn't have this effect.

Anyone with any solid knowledge on this subject please enlighten me.

nolva

nolvadex actually improves lipids. I know its not an AI....I have been tested while on aromasin and lipids were good (HDL 50)
