[QUOTE="lovinglife, post: 1104311, member: 22428"] I used benacol for a while and even though I didn't believe it would work it did drop my chol from 5.6 down into the 4s - it was difficult for me to use though as I HATE milk in any form especially milk shakes lol - I now take 2 lecithin and 2 lestrin a day - I get them from Holland & Barrett - don't know yet if they have had any effect as not had a test since starting them in November. My chol was 6.4 but my ratios were good(sorry can't remember the numbers) but I had problems with simvastatin so GP changed them to amverstatin (sp) - they affected my liver so with agreement with my GP as my ratios were good no more statins! The supplements from H&B seem expensive at first but last ages and work out far cheaper than the drinks - usually I get them when they have offers on [/QUOTE]
