Are you concerned about your heart health? Research has proven that your total cholesterol number isn’t important. The size of cholesterol-carrying particles is more important than the amount of cholesterol in your blood. Some of the most dangerous particles that carry cholesterol are a type of lipoprotein called Lp(a). They help determine whether cholesterol will stay soluble in your blood where it is harmless. There is a strong statistical link between Lp(a) and heart attacks. Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have reported that high levels increase heart attack risk by 330%. Get a simple blood test that will determine your level and make sure it is lower than 50 mg/nl. Supplementing with adequate amounts of niacin and vitamin C may reduce levels of Lp(a) in the blood.
