I am not going to type this all up again....this is what I have been recommending for years on the supplement front. So I am just going to cut and paste this email I sent to a bb named Chris a few years back that i usually just reform to people according to themselves but using this as a base so I dont have to type it all up again: below
------------------------
I am going to send you my recommendations and what i would do and also some proof to the pudding.
Anything over 300 coronary calcium score is listed as risk for heart attack for the next 5-10 years.
But lets regress this plaque to the best of our ability.
Things we need to stay away from. All orals especially anavar. THESE PEOPLE WHO SAY ANAVAR IS SAFE DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT! I have seen so many physique competitors and classic competitors bloodwork now where they used anavar chronically because their trainers told them it was safe and they all have huge buildups of plaque...it plummets hdl like no tommorow...so please stay away from all orals and especially anavar. I have seen 6 or so small time competitors over the last few years with CCS's of 350 plus and every single one of them did long durations of var. 2) do not plummet your estradiol. The reason women have less heart attacks than men pre menopause is because estradiol is cardio protective..so doing AI's in large amounts and such are detrimental if you drive estradiol too low. If you absolutely have to have an AI, use liquid version and microdose it if even using it at all....use the lowest dose you can. If i was you, in a generaly sense i would use predominantly a higher protein, fibrous veggies (mashed cauliflower etc etc) good fats diet with cashews and almonds being the good fats (and avocado etc) and lower carbs if you can. Post workout you can eat high protein high carbs and minimal fats because your body is like a sponge there but the rest of the day.....try to eat like the above.
I truly believe this...if you do 1-6 below i believe in 12 months youll be down pretty far plaque wise....at two years of doing all the below steadily and not missing any doses i believe you will be down pretty dramatically and years if you keep doing it i think youll get down to a very acceptable number but this will involve you being steadfast and not missing doses of supps and such. Ive done it with others and it will happen for you if you stay the course.
Im going to show you what i think you should do and then simple links (i am not going to list all) to the reasons we are doing it ok?
Below in these links CIMT is plaque for your reference ok
1) Nattokinase i suggest (right now anyway) doctors best version and 4000fus morning and night ok so 8000fus a day (thats 2 capsules morning and 2 more at night). Better yet i like 6000 and 6000 FUS morn and night Why? 36.6% reduction in plaque size!!!! Thats massive
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28763875/ This will regress plaque greatly over time.
2) Citrus Bergamot i suggest jarrow version because its real... huge reduction of plaque over 6 months..massive!
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4702027/ you need at the minimum 1000mg morn and 1000mg night so thats 2 capsules morn and 2 capsules night
3) Berberine we need 1000mg morn and 1000mg night of this 2 caps morn and 2 caps night. I was going to list studies for this but there are so many Chris ill just list a link that you can look thru them

4) High EPA fish oil - Fish oil at over 4 grams of epa has been shown to reduce plaque...not as well as 1,2 and 3 up above but enough that i think it should be included. I use this version because i know its legit because i know one of the owners
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QHP2ZNQ?ref=nb_sb_ss_w_as-reorder_k0_1_8&=&crid=3SOJ0TNEQ991R&sprefix=fish+oil&th=1 I personally cannot take that many fish oils because i just cannot deal with it in large amounts due to it gives me the hiccups and such but i take 4 of these pre bed...and have no problem. One side note on these Chris you will see within a week is you will wake up a little fuller and rounder muscularly than usual. It really knocks down inflammation and youll also see that in your physique.

5) Organic pomegranate juice (30% reduction after one year of IMT (plaque) huge!
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15158307/ Chris put about 6 ounces of organic pomegranate juice (NOT FROM CONCENTRATE)...in your intra workout drink ok

6) Aged garlic but this is more for soft plaque and i dont consider this absolutely necessary at this time Chris but only if you want to add it
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26764322/ https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/01/160121122158.htm#google_vignette If i was you i would add it but i am going to leave it up to you.
Other options available but i dont think we need to do at this time Chris

1, 2, and 3 are the most important, 4, 5, and 6 are ranked just below them...but if you want the best bang for your buck...doing 1 thru 6 WILL reduce your plaque and you absolutely will not have to go on a statin because 1 and 2 will pretty much do everything a statin does without the side effects.
any questions on any of this Crhis let me know im here for you ( I think i covered the gamut but i might have forgot a thing or two if it comes to me ill send it over )
